More comments on doubling up.
I have been wearing Forcefield armored pants and a Leatt armored jersey under my Fieldsheer textile 2 piece outfit for 3 riding seasons now. I removed only the back protector from the Fieldsheer. I kept the elbow and knee armor in. Partly because Fieldsheer is slightly too large; there is no restricted feeling. In my mind, I'm relying on the Forcefield and Leatt for impact protection, the Fieldsheer armor provides more abrasion protection. I wash the Forcefield and Leatt in a front loading washer on the gentle cycle, with the pads in. I dry in the dryer on the lowest heat possible until the are just barely damp. I don't wash the Fieldsheer at all.
