The tragedy of old age is not that one is old, but that one is young.

Just out of interest the body armour in my new HG textile kit (though it seems that HG has gone bust again!) is very flexible and relatively soft in normal use but quickly goes hard in an impact (maybe it's custard-filled).
I can't remember what it's called but seems fine so far .... without testing in anger .....
That'll probably be D30 http://www.d3o.com/ that you've got then Andy.

It came installed in my jeans for hip and knee protection. Tbh don't ever notice it, and I haven't had the opportunity to test it yet either
