Title: Anybody used A-Star Bionic Back protector vests?
Post by: DEVINC on December 22, 2009, 11:58:09 AM
How are they? Do they go under your leathers well? I am thinking about getting the full sleeved vest with the back, chest, elbow, and shoulder protection. Maybe remove the elbows and shoulders when not needed because of the ones already in my suit.. These seem like the best protection for back and chest/ribs to me. Any other suggestions?

Get a separate back protector and chest protector. I like the vest, but a one piece chest protector covers your sternum.

You mean the single square type of chest protector rather than two peices meeting in the middle by a zipper?

What to do about good rib protection also?

Fuller protection

Lesser protection, but still good
