Hey guys I am 6'2 and 220lbs and running the leatt 4.5 chest protector in XXL and I enjoy it but are there any other chest protectors for big guys with a little more coverage??? Or is this the best I get being a big guy?
Or is the FOX proframe a bigger protector for a big guy like me??

I'm 6'4", 195lbs. I had an older Fox airframe that fit good. I remember at the time trying on 4-5 other brands and they did not fit well.

What I liked about the Fox was I can wear a hoodie under the chest protector, and I still felt comfortable

I'm 6'4'' 215 and I use the Fox Pro Frame. It's not perfect but it's the biggest I could find that doesn't limit movement.

I just ride "BITCH" behind a fat chick...

J/K... All love for the big gals!

Fox Pro Frame in the largest size available on RMATV with the detachable bits... I'm 6'1, 210-ish. Love it.

Really comfortable for what it affords in real/perceived "wraparound" protection.

EDIT: Make CERTAIN to go over the fastener mechanisms... Loctite the permanent ones.

Agree, I'm almost 6'2 and use the same.
Had the Thor Sentinel (the old version) before. Was good too but I prefer the Fox now

Good to know. I'm 6'5 too and currently wear an HRP but don't like it much. Do you wear that Astar over or under jersey?

I’ve been looking at the A-10. How is the coverage over the shoulder blade? I broke mine a year ago with a bunch of ribs. It also looks like there are a few different densities built in, is the inside layer a little softer like a rubber

The only one I have found that was large enough for me is the one made by Bilt which is the Cycle Gear house brand. I would prefer a different brand because I'm a gear snob and hate to think I'm wearing store brand stuff lol, but it fits and works.
