Looking at going for the Dainese Performance Jacket or Dainese Performance Armour with elbow guards. Anyone have any experience of using either and offer any advice?
Thanks

    Thoight I'd reply to my own post as have now bought the Dainese Peformance Jacket. Have worn it a couple of times on long XC rides which included rocky downhill sections.
    The fit is just right, I am 175cm, 39" chest and went for a medium. Very comfortable and all the armour stays where it should. I thought that the back protector straps might chafe a bit but once out on the trail I didn't even notice them.
    Even after a 5 hour ride, the jacket was still very comfortable. The jacket has a lot of white mesh on it but all of the mud wiped clean with a damp cloth once the mud had dried.
    Very impressed with this jacket, not cheap, but then few things of this quality are. Highly recommended.
