Chest Protectors / Back Protectors...

azoomm · 04-27-2008, 11:55 AM

My husband bought me a new item the other day, I got to try it out at the track on Friday. I love it. LOVE it... The back protector is zipped on, so there is no sliding around, my previous one would slip up as I put on the top of my leathers. This one doesn't do that.

I did remove the elbow and shoulder armor - my suit already has it. It's brilliant. WELL worth the money.

I been looking for a good chest protector, but this is the same as a lot of them I have seen. I took my chest injury to the lower ribs and nothing really protects that area of the chest.

Something like that is on my list to get....the crappy foam back protector in my suit is a joke.

That was my first thought when even taking the pictures...

I don't think I can tell you what a wonderful thing this thing is. I mean, the wide strap on the back protector is the same as my other one. But, the *problem* being female is the velcro straps go snug around the hips... then quickly slide up as my waist is more slender than my hips (if even a little bit). That means my back protector sometimes pokes me in the back of the neck

Not a good thing, and doesn't happen with this

As I was reading I thought you were still talking about your ass until well into the next sentence...

I'm also looking at chest protectors.

Very nice.

I actually picked one of these up:

And used it for the first time yesterday at Barber. Off the bike it pokes you in the neck a little, but on the bike it was flawless. I never even knew it was there. I like this one because it's a little less money than Dianese and it doesn't have sleeves, so it's easier to get on and off. My suit has armor in the elbows and shoulders that I am happy with. Plus this has extra padding protecting your kidneys and collarbones, and the kidney/collar padding is gel-cell armor so it will actually do some good.

They also make a womans version with specially designed strap that prevents riding up.
