Chest protectors???

Anyone have recommendations?

An integrated unit of chest and back protector would be nice and I think easier to use under leathers. I notice most back protectors catch on your leathers when you go to take them off. The only thing I see bad on integrated units is that most also have shoulder and elbow armor also which would not fit well under leathers.

Something like a Icon Vest Field Armor would be nice though I want something that is CE approved. Also being hard to please I want something that is cool (Baa-rber in June-August is very hot).

The Dainese Safety Jacket Wave-2 is nice but the extra shoulder and arm armor might be to much to get under the leathers.

In the long run I might be able to get a custom suit that accomodates a armor jacket but want something sooner.

Any suggestions? Who has what?

Thanks

Re: Chest protectors???

I and a few of my buddies have the impact armor chest protector and are very happy with them. Don't even realize they're their after a minute or so. Nicky and CE wear them so they have to be good right.

I'm working out a group buy with our vendors. I'll post up details next week.

Sweet, I want one ... something that would fit under leathers, not move around, but not be too bulky ... If I can be pushy

I took a look at the Icon one this weekend, and it is a pretty nice concept, but thought the back protector was lacking a bit (seemed to be street length to fit over the pants of a 2 piece ... or jeans)
