T-Pro (imported by Johnson Leathers in San Francisco) also has a similar get-up. As is Bohn body armor.
I have the Dainese version somewhere,I think,if I find it you can have it. I think I wore it 3 or 4 times under a jersey. I was so paranoid that I couldn"t enjoy riding. Also,Icon sells a vest and elbow and knee armor. I know people that have gone down with the vest who swear by it and I've crashed the leg armor wth excellent results...zero damage! Personally,I'd rather see you in a mesh jacket,tho'. The greatest armor in the world can only protect the parts of the body that it covers.
