Looking for arm armour for women, even the Mace small size is to big. Anyone else make something similar in a extra small? Mace only makes a small.

She is using the small Mace Legs and likes them a lot.

For arms she is currently using the old school Roach clone style.

I have Dainese elbow pads. They run small. I hardly wear them though.

Non of the arm armour fits me either. I use motocross elbow/forarm pads and they go all the way down to my gloves. I wear a moto chest protector as well, so my arms are covered from showlder to gloves. I will get the name when I get home and post it. They are really comfortable and dont move around. Ive had a few girls come up to me and ask where I got them. But I find motocross wear and mase fits best

Only arm armour that fits me is by Core Rat that I bought about 5 years ago. They have a Junior size, but old school type. www.corerat.com

Beastgear makes small size arm armour that fits me great - and I have skinny little arms. Everything else slid around.

LOL! That is what she used to use before the Roach clone stuff. She ended up selling both the legs & arms to our sister-in-law.

Any suggestions on a LBS that stocks an assortment of armour in small sizes? (Dianese, MSR, Beastgear, etc.)

Anywhere in the lower mainland is fine.

How soon?

Joely has the opposite problem, needs the bigger sizes.

In case any one here get the MEC catalogue I have some bad news I heard yesterday form the rep at a race.

In the cycling section of the catalogue it shoes a the new hard shell arm and leg armour. MEC had to pull them because they didn't meet MEC's rules for the manufacturing or something like that. Too detailed for me.

Apparently this si the first time MEC has ever done this.

just a heads up that its coming out in Oct - in cute powder blue and pink - if you are into that sort of thing.....

also apparently going to be bosom specific and adjustable around the chest area for those who are more endowed....
