Title: Is Fox Airframe still the way to go?
Post by: Headrope on February 23, 2010, 01:32:39 AM: I need a chest protector and consensus used to be that Fox Airframe was the only way to go for big guys. Is that still the way to go?
I'm 6'4" and weigh 270 pounds.

Also, what's the difference between the airframe and raceframe?

Please and thanks.

I have a thor.... (forget what theirs is called now that I think of it) I got it on sale at dennis kirk, I like it and it's very comfortable.

Sorry for such a 'greenhorn' question. I've never worn a chest protector before but have forced my son to for two years. He called me out last night: "Dad, how come I have to wear safety gear you don't?"

You sure can!

My thor I put my camelback pack over the outside of it. I had to loosen the straps a bit to compensate, but it's very comfy,, and I don't get a sweaty back from the camelback either anymore :lol:

Sure can, I wear my backpack over my airframe. And Randy is right, I LOVE my airframe. I'm 6'8' 280 and its the best thing out there.
