Can anybody recommend some decent body armour that’s comfortable, not too heavy and could be used in warmer climates with some uphill riding?
Thanks

If you're after knee/leg guards or elbow pads I'd recommend Dainese. I wouldnt recommend wearing much more than that for all day riding! The Dainese stuff is a bit pricey but in my opinion worth every penny; it's very light and very comfortable (I often wear my Kneeguard revolutions on all day, 8hr rides in the peaks). However only relatively few places stock it. BikeDock usually have quite a range though.
If you want something a bit cheaper then anything from RaceFace, 661 etc will be pretty decent.

second the knee shin guards from dainese but if you just want knee then 661's product are pretty good.

If you want cheap, I am 'suit'ably impressed with Brand X stuff. The elbow guards are good and could rid all day in, knee pads a more bulky and prob get very hot in warm climates.

The 661 veggie pads are supposed to be quite good for all day riding

Why not Karlos? For half the price of Dianese they worth it!
