I was just wondering if anyone had used a Dianese Multisport Jacket? I was thinking of getting one but they are pretty expensive at £140.

Are they worth the money?

No connection to seller

I bought a back protector from the same place and it is exactly the same as a Dianese one but without the logos. Wouldn't surprise me if it was made in the same factory.

you might want to check out the dainese fullcoat wave first. the back protector is better and more breathable so if you dont need hard chest armour its a good bet. the fullcoat wave has soft armour over your abs and under the ribs. this type of armour is like having an extra layer of clothing on so the lighter/more breathable the better.

I think I could live without the chest protection as I have enough protection for my front already Laughing

The main thing I was interested in is whether people have used them and found that they have helped limit injuries. They are damn expensive so would it be worth getting one or just living with the bruises. I am going to be doing some freestyle so would it help or hinder?

I love my Dianese hard protection shorts and think they have helped but the jacket is loads more.
