Guy's:

Now that I donated my left Kidney to my cousin, I need to find out which body armor will help me protect my remaining Kidney.

I haven't even really started looking yet, still trying to recover from the surgery 2 1/2 weeks ago.

What I'm interested in is something that will cover the lower part of my torso & protect the ribs & Kidney.


Someone said that the new Leatt looks good, I would like your opinions on what might work, so I can go look at one!

Thanks!

Howard

I've been using the Fox Titan body armor for years and I love it.

RXR or the Leatt 5.5 PRO HD, I like the leatt because it covers up the side of your back and most of your ribs.

Alpinestars makes a good chest protector also.

I've been using leatts 3df. Haven't and won't take a big hit in it but I wish I would have gotten a size smaller. The shoulder pads don't stay in place. I have a seperated shoulder.

If you can find, Fox Racing Raceframe. Discontinued. Very comfortable, good air flow, excellent protection. The Raceframe had a flex system, that imo, contoured to your body, and felt like a part of your torso, not an addition to. It displaces energy, and protects when you crash. I can not believe they discontinued.
