Spyder-  Any sugestions on which Chest Protectors to buy?

RC423- I looked at the impact safe-t and have a question. It looks like it stops protecting about where your arm lies. Do you think that if you fell and hit your side that the edge could break even more ribs? Am I making any sense? (probably just thinking to much) Also, is it hot?

Either way I think I'll be buying something.           -Snack

It extends to the edge of where my ribs stop - you measure everything and that where they make it to stop.  It's made of several layers and the one closest to you is memory foam but it's not hard enough to puncture or break anything.  Also, for the comment about securing them - the one that I have has a velcro piece in the front where you can secure it to the inside of your suit if you want.  I personally like it floating but when you're on the bike it doesnt move much at all and my leathers fit perfect bc of it.  Hope this helps a little
