Rib Protection
Hi Guy's
It’s been 4 weeks now since I crashed and smashed my ribs against a tree, yesterday I finally gave into the pain and my wife’s demands and went to the Dr's, cracked ribs, server bruising, cartilage damage and depressed lung & fluid retention in lungs. This is the 5th time I have done this over the last 6 years and let me tell you at 50 years of age it hurts harder and longer. I have tried three different armour types, Dainese, Troy lee body suits & Fox Roost 2, all these offer good front & rear protection but I always seem to get hit in the side were there is no protection . Has anyone got any ideas for me? I recently saw a rib protector used by Go-Kart riders, I was thinking of using one of these in conjunction with my Fox Roost. BTW- Love my 250 Gaser, however hate the power valve rattle!

If you are really having rib issues you could try something like this:

That looks awesome.
Does anyone have one ? How long do they last and are they very much different to wear than say a dianese armour in terms of comfort and heat? Cheers Mark |

The problem with those rock garden and 661 full body set ups is the zipper down the middle. Its the weak spot ... you get a rock in your chest right at the zipper .... busted sternum. happend to some due on one of the forums I frequent ... he went back to the old school CP. that rock garden unit looks like it has some serious rib protection though!!
