Is there something out there that protects your gut and lower back? All the chest protectors don't come down far enough leaving the lower back and gut completely exposed. I don't even think the RXR fills out your whole front or back. What the hell do you use to protect those areas?

Sitting down would be very uncomfortable with something that went down that low.

My friend wears one of those pressure suit things that have a spine protector/kidney belt built into them.. He says it's hot and uncomfortable, though.

Budweiser make a pretty good product which will eventually create some nice layers of protection for those vital organs. It worked for me.

Hi Level, for the RXR, in front it comes down to a point so that the rider isn't bothered when he's crouched, like in whoops or attack position. Same for the back, it comes down to the bottom of the back to a point where it won't interfered with the seat and not pull up when sitting. Even though we have done that, I still see the pros mostly going with a size smaller, which is not the best, but what they feel comfortable with.
