Rib/Chest armor


Hmmm... I'm not really sold on the chest protector idea. When I broke my ribs on the track, it wasn't from a direct hit to the ribs, rather my whole chest cavity compressing farther than it should from stopping too quickly.

OK, if you bike hits you, the chest armor would be key. I'm just sayin' it may not do the job in most situations.

Kind of like pads for your collarbone. Usually it breaks when you land on you elbow...

I guess more padding is always better...
