Hey there was cabbage in there as well you know!!! I know but to be fair, the pad they pulled out of those jeans was never marketed as "armor" but rather as comfort padding. It was cool of the mag to print FT's rebuttal anyway. FWIW Frank Thomas does use CE approved armor in it's "armored" riding gear. but I'll defer to my fall back position of, "it's better than nothing"...

And apparently, a cheese and cabbage sandwich is better than nothing too.
