chest protecter

[bluebaron]

do you wair a chest protecter:confused:

[250EXking]

yes if you do serious mx or traial riding. it helps keep junk from bouncing off your chest. and like in my case saved my ribs from being crushed when my bike rolled on top of me.

yeah occasionally

[CHAUNCY]

I do because roost hurts:eek:

[ZSK]

Yeah I wear one too. When it's cold out it defianately helps deflect some of the wind. And roost protection is a plus, and I look cool, excuse me cooler than normal

[Sporttrax400ex]

yap yap yap yap yap

i want one becuz i know it will save my ***** from injury some day. they are exspensive tho.:eek:

[redroost85]

While we are on the subject of roost protection, I am thinking about getting a FOX Roost 2 protector. My question is where do I get the clear back part to put my name and number? Is this another piece I have to buy? Any help here Ex'ers? :cool:

[cheetah]

Yeah I wear one every now and then. It makes me look like I know how to ride.:macho :blah

[jay's 300]

I like mine alot and it wasn't that expensive, A.R.C Corona. It saved my friend from broken ribs and maybe even more, when he rolled his 400 and it landed on him! I'd say deffinately wear one, unless you like the feel of roost, branches and bars bouncing off your chest! :blah

[Nausty]

I use to not wear one but now I do. I think they look cool and they help w/ the confidence a little knowing if I crash it won't hurt as bad.

[oynot400]

I wear one now. I was at the races at Waterloo one night. I asked a guy if a chest proctector was worth it? He said yes and he would not ride with out one. It just so happened in the main I came over the table top and landed on 2 400's and rolled down the side. My ribs hurt for days! :scary: I just bought a new Thor Aftershock, it wasn't too expensive. Lots cheaper then an emergency room visit. ;)

[crazycasey]

yeah....i have a No Fear Stratos chest protector. i feel naked whenever i dont wear it

[bluebaron]

btw no i don't wear a chest protector but my sig will explain why

[redroost85]

Ok, so does anyone know where I can get the clear back part to put my name and number on the back of the chest protector? :confused:

[400grl]

Try www.brmoffroad.com - they do the graphics for chest protectors - they mount it on a clear plastic piece and you attach that to your chest protector! :)

I wear a chest protector each and EVERY time I ride....I have to protect my "investments" up front! :) Popping one of those would be embarrassing - not to mention expensive!:devil :blah :D

[400exrider400ex]

i only wear mine on tracks, not on trails

would you like you send me a picture of your "investments"?


lol :eek2:

[400grl]

LOL! :D Gee....I'm all outta pics.....wouldn'tyaknowit! :D ;) jp!

BTW - chest protectors offer good shoulder protection, too - I'm sure mine has saved my shoulders a few times from serious injury - as well as my back. Had my quad hit me in the back a few times, too (don't ask how....) and if I hadn't been wearing my chest protector, I could have had some serious injuries. As it was I got up and kept riding......it can make all the difference in the world!!;)

[OCCRA288]

After 5 broken ribs, 13 fractures in lower back, 1 punctured lung, $15,000 in medical bills and a slightly damaged liver, I won't start my quad without my chest protector on.

It's kinda funny how the one time you don't wear a piece of gear, you get hurt.

[AtvMxRider]

Yep!!!!

[Honda4trax250x]

i have one that i got for free but i dont wear it cuz its purple:rolleyes: and its old & crappy and its very uncomfortable if i got a new one maybe i would wear it i like that thor ones

[ex kid]

i bought one after my back tires on my ex caught the lip on our double and i almost got ran over from goin over the bars. that was the last crash i wanted to have without one. if anyone is looking for a good chest protecter i just got a six six one and it's awsome. it's comforable, looks sweet, has good airflow for hotter days. it was 100 bucks tho that is what sux. i havn't put it to a crash test yet thank god.

[Tommy 17]

i have a fox roost 2 and i love it... never got in my way and i dont' even feel it on me...

[RuffRyder400ex]

i dont wear one.

gosh darn it don't i have the best timing, could i start a waiting list please lol

fox airframe is the most comfy next to the no fear so if i was gonna get one it would be one of them, the thor one looks like some kinda football equipment

[250ex03]

I always wear my chest protecter it saved my life once. i hit a tree on a hill climb the quad came tumbleing down on me and the handle bars went right into my chest. im luckey i had mine on:)

[300EXrider02]

i wear one, helps protect a lot, especially from hitting the bars...I got an answer and i am perfectly happy with it, one of the best

[Bill Fuller]
