i'd go with the 2008 FOX RACEFRAME c/p if u are willing to spend $150 on a c/p! thats what i got and its very comfortable! Well worth the price imo!

I got this (http://www.motosport.com/offroad/product/SIXSIXONE-RACE-JACKET/?prodId=84034&sMMY=).

Its very comfortable. It stops huge rocks from hurting of course. Nice air flow.:macho

the local tracks i ride at are all hard pack and i usually dont wear one cause theres not really an bad roost. and when im at bigger tracks i dont wear one if theres not a lot of people on or if its hardpack.


i just bought a $40 fox one of rocky mountain. works good for me so far. comfy and havent taken any bad hits yet

Thnxs for all your input. Im leaning toward the EVS and FOX AIRFRAME. One thing I saw about the THOR FORCE and 661 DEFENDER the back narrows at the bottomf and leaves your kidney area exposed where the FOX and EVS covers that area up.

I have the older Thor Quadrant maybe? Anyways it withstood quite a few impacts and the only thing that was wrong was the arm guards the material ripped where the screws are not a big deal. It saved my life a few times and hasnt cracked yet. It was like a boxed rib construction pretty nice but it doesnt ft me anymore. Now i have to decided whats best again because a good one will save your life.

Thnxs for all the info. Went with the Fox Airframe.. Fits better that the Raceframe and the EVS.

I'm running the thor sentinel. I like it. I'm not a fan of big chest protectors. Plus I don't really like the arm guards either. The were all taken off on everyone of my chest protectors. Plus the sentinel fits nice with the leatt.

My old airframe broke when i got ran over with a snowmobile... saved my back from the intial impact though. i think it lasted 3 decent sized crashes

If it hold up and protects me from one bad crash its done its job. Certain things you shouldn't skimp on and your body is one of them. I've seen how protective gear has helped in even the littlest accidents.

If you are going to buy one i would recommend buying from rocky mountain. they are good to work with, and are pretty reasonable on price.

haha i have been popping vicodin the past week because i got my wisdom teeth cut out. i think its like super tylenol, but the nurse strongly disagreed, and now that i been taking them the past week, i still think they are like advil or tylenol.
