Body armor that isn't mechanically attached? If it's not screwed, bolted, riveted, or welded, would it only be for scratch protection? Maybe stick on w/ double sided tape? Wouldn't be as much "armor" and scratch protection I might think.

If your afraid of using appropriate tools and hardware to mount actual armor then your not hitting the trails that require them... Armor shouldn't be a fashion statement, it should be fully functional

I'm a "screwed in, welded, etc" type of guy but there are magnets out there capable of holding armor on through rocks and trees. I'll stick with my sticky of choice though , a welder.
