Honda Road Racing Favorite, Ian Hutchinson rides Forcefield- At speeds of over 200mph around the worlds best road circuits (Including the famous Isle of Man TT) it goes without saying that the protection needed has to be the best- with no compromise what-so-ever! This is why he chooses Forcefield Body Armour.

Here's what some of the Speedway riders that endorse our products said:

“Protection is essential, but to me comfort is equally important. That’s why I choose to wear Forcefield. It offers me the highest standard of protection with the comfort that allows me to push it to the limit”

Gary Havelock (GBR) 1992 World Speedway Champion wrote -

When I first started riding Speedway professionally at the age of sixteen, I used nothing more than a flimsy foam back protector. At that time there was not a huge range of body armour and also when your young your body heals so quickly from injuries. As I got older I realised the need for good, practical and comfortable body armour and this is when I discovered Forcefield.

It is without equal in my opinion because of one major factor. The company is constantly striving to improve the product and in working with some of the worlds’ top sportsmen and listening to their ideas and feedback, it has enabled them to stay ahead of the opposition.

The products are well made, extremely light weight and very comfortable to wear, whilst also offering an unrivalled level of protection. The huge combination of pieces that they offer is also great because it can be tailored to each individual in each sport.

I now try and make sure that all the youngsters in my teams are fully protected and the products that I recommend are Forcefield. Once you have used the best then nothing else will do.

I have been using Forcefield products for about 5 years now and find them really comfortable. The moulded pads in particular are great as they hug your body for a slim fit. The products breathe well and also come up great in the wash.

One of the best things though about Forcefield is that they are always improving the product – like the new two piece which is ore comfortable than the traditional one piece, and makes visiting the toilet during race meetings more convenient too!
