Recently my wife is getting more, and more into moto with me. With this, I want to keep her safe as possible, and am currently trying to find her a good chest protector.

The problem we're running into is, all of the chest protectors seem to be made for women with A-cups.

Does anyone have any suggestions on chest protectors meant for more "busty" women?

For reference, my wife is a 34DD, with a 29" waist. The last chest protector she tried on was the female fox chest protector.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks ahead of time!

"34DD with a 29" waist" God bless you sir. LoL that's an issue I've never thought about as far as women's protective gear goes.

Sounds to me like you need 2 softballs and a heat gun to solve that problem. haha

Real question, could this work? Or would this cause structural issues?

Chris_buehler, it's definitely a nice problem to have, that's for sure.

Mudpup545, luck doesn't even begin to describe it. She's gorgeous, loves dirtbikes, and she's my best friend. No way it could get any better.

I've used a heart gun to mold gas tanks on some AF 500's. No issues with structural problems on those. I would probably experiment on an old or cheap one. I'm always the one to think outside of the box.

I'll have to give that a try. Probably buy a used one, or something.

Anyone else know of any other chest protectors? My wife can't be the only busty woman who rides a dirtbike.

Maybe RXR? They are flexible since they made of air bags…

In order to be able to provide relevant advice , were going to need photos illustrating the, uh, 'problem'
Lots of them ... from varying angles.

Real classy guy.

The topic points out a notable issue that a critical piece of safety equipment doesn't anatomically fit some female riders and you post some sexist BS like that.

Leatt offers the 4.5 Jacki chest protector that is contoured for the female form. We can confirm that a female rider with similar measurements (36DD/E) wears this item and it offers a great fit!

This is partly why so few women participate on vital, and fewer are actually riding at least in my area (southeast).

Fathers and spouses don't want their daughters and partners on here cuz of classless jokes like you just made. Take that shit to 4chan it doesn't belong here.

I noticed that this chest protector is for mtb. Does it make any difference on a product like this? Let me know and thank you!

I have C cup and started wearing a Fox Raceframe chest protector in size L/XL. It's flexible so I don't feel like I'm wearing a trash can lid over my boobs.

Similar thread from last year same topic https://www.vitalmx.com/forums/Moto-Related,20/Ladies-chest-protectors,…

Thanks for the link!
As for the fox chest protector, This was an idea I had, but am worried about the overall size. My wife had a race frame when she was younger but it squished her chest and felt loose in other places. Where do the sizes differ as they go up? Does the waist even matter?
Appreciate the advice, especially from a woman, who I can only assume has faced this issue.

I'm tall and slender and had to get the L/XL in the raceframe. I tried wearing one of those hard plastic protectors and had a bad time.. it was a man's size so there you go.

Unfortunately I can't comment on the others in this thread they were all getting pricey for the amount of riding I do these days.

Sorry to resurrect this, but if you don't mind me asking, how tall are you? And are you able to wear the chest protector under your jersey?
I've appreciated all the help!

Umm, I must be missing something here. Women don't need aftermarket chest protectors as they come equipped with them from the factory as standard OEM parts.
