potential protective gear...?

[jaimz]

So, I saw this today http://sport.woot.com/offers/zoombang-compression-protective-gear#read-more

And the thought about using that as a supplemental protection while riding crossed my mind.

I'm not saying it should replace your protective gear you already have (or don't have) but it could add a small amount of additional protection at a small price.

And since it seems to be quite form fitting, you could wear it under your shirt or whatever so you don't look like an idiot.

Anyone have any thoughts?

I just watched two guys with these on hit each other with bats. That certainly does set a good case for these.
