Chest Protector, Back Protector Or Pack
« on: September 16, 2008, 05:21:55 PM »
guys in your personal opinions is it worth buying a spine protector or just get good chest armour and wear a kidney pack, Or is a presure suit a better option like the 661 ?

I have a thor chest protector (quadrant) but was just wondering what you guys would recommend.

Thanks  :thumbs:

The one piece suits like the 661 are easy on easy off. I have one and love it. The one draw back is with the turtle back shell for the spine if you wear a tool belt or water belt around your waist it will slide down on your butt. I now carry my tools and water bottles in my back pack. This is not a problem for a day ride but if you pack for multiple day rides the weight factor gets with the added stuff in your pack can really be felt.
