    Haha... I superglued my finger back together when I sliced it open, if it works, it works. Def a good idea fitting armour. Some of my kit, the hip armour can be quite uncomfortable as it doesn't suit the riding position on some bikes, but is ok on others. well worth having still though. The ABR was amazing, and super cool to run in to you, shame we didn't get to hang longer. I'll see you there next year no doubt! 😀
