I'm looking at these Zacspeed chest protector backpacks and they look nice, but I wish they were cheaper. Wearing a usual pack with a usual roost guard isn't very comfortable so I end up riding trail unprotected too often. Does any one use the Zacspeed or something similar? Any one figure out a good set up? Maybe I should just be looking for the right pack that will fit over/around the chest protector (which would be cheaper).
The older I get the more plastic I surround myself with. How we survived our non-plasticised youths I'll never know ...
I wear a Thor Iimpact chest/back protector with mesh sleeves (zipper offset from the center), and have no problem wearing an ordinary backpack with it. It is especially great in warm weather--not hot or uncomfortable.
Sorry for the slow reply--I usually don't have time to check the forum during the week. Anyway, I am 5'10" and just under 170 lbs and I have a "L/XL". I believe that I wear a 42 jacket. Mine fits me well.
