I am interested in this too. Do people still buy their kids those motoXvests? They are high dollar, but it seems like my kid is always taking a handlebar to the gut.

Look at Troy lee design CP 5900 youth chest protector. That’s what we’re currently looking at for my son. He currently wears Fox’s but he doesn’t like how bulky it looks underneath his jersey and it’s not as flexible. Also it’s gotten a lot good reviews, what of read people have switch from what they currently own to the CP 5900 because it does not restrict movement and it’s design to go with neck brace.

Did the motovest and liked it, switched to a ce rated thor because he wanted to wear his jersey over it. Burn have been good to go

Check out the alpinestars A5s, also compatiable with There neck brace. It’s light weight, provides more mobility for the child and ventilation.

Check out the Leatt Fusion 2.0 upper body vest. I bought my youngest son one when he was small. Best protection out there for little ones.

Fox raptor proframe LC. Very good in person with wrap around side panels.

We had one of these before the motovest. It limits movement so much that when we switched to the motovest/atlas my son said he felt so much better on the bike. He was also able to get his head up much more.

My kid likes his Atlas. It's pretty minimal but looks like it covers all the important spots, and it has knockouts for their neck brace.

Take your son's chest measurement under his armpits to get the correct size Fusion 2.0 combo chest protector and neck brace. Based on his height and weight he's probably a #S/M (chest measurement 54-66cm).

My son runs an atlas with the fox raptor. I started running the same. Good rib coverage also

Thanks, I'm not quite ready to purchase yet but will keep in mind. Are you a distributor?
