Heavy leather with foam padding at knees, hips, elbows built in--not nearly as stiff as plastic armour, but probably not as effective. Thankfully, this suit never tested that possibility.
Custom V design, all leather. All zippers work,b ut some tabs have been "customized" to deal with breaks in pot metal.
Suitable for approx 5'10" person 160 pounds. I'm 170 and it's a tight fit now.
Under MC accessories also find leather bib overalls
UPDATE NOTE: Away to Oct 10.***************
