Ray,
You should probably post this in a different section as SCTA approved leathers are much different than Bubs AMA approved leathers.

I agree.  When I first saw the post I didn't realize that it was aimed at the Bub's event, even though the word "scrutinizing sorta hinted that it was.  Whatever, Ray, consider moving this thread to the Bub's topic.  I can help you there if you don't know how to do it.

(knees, elbows, forearms, shoulders) armor or 2-layers of

something of similar nature.

If you are talking SCTA if it isn't leather it wont fly.
