I went off a dirt jump and hit my mouth on the gravel track....Should of got a full face helmet...it felt like someone punched me in the face.

@UrbanArcticDesert, the joint pads are pretty durable. I'd say the answer to your question would depend on the surface texture of the concrete. Smooth -- no problem. Really coarse broom finish -- maybe tears. And of course, it would depend on your speed and how much sliding you do when you wipe out.

Looks like an exo-skeleton from Metal Gear.

Longboard, I'd say you'll experience the same sort of superhero physical appearance with the POC armor. I've worn both, and they feel similar. Good luck being incognito either way.
