nman1 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Now I`m all for safety, but I would imagine these chest protectors are a bit restrictive. Anyone use or tried one. Was speaking to a guy at the weekend who swears by them. Not to sure myselfe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korben Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Was going to buy a Knox one which was part of a Back protector setup.Tried it on in the shop, but could just not get on with it.This is the one I was going to get.http://www.motorcycle-store-online.com/ ... p-104.htmlIn the end I just got the standard back protector. Each to their own I guess, but I found it just got in the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nman1 Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 Looks extreamly bulky to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korben Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 The chest protection is about 12mm thick. It's not actually too bad for thickness, but gets in the way. Did a simulated shoulder check in the shop and it just seemed to catch under my arm and shove itself into my collar bone.Shame really.

flipper Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 A couple of mates use them for racing, but don't use them on the road.They say they're too cumbersome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
