I've got a brand new fly pivitol, it's comfortable but won't work with my Evs brace. Works fine with leatt and astars.
$50 and its yours. PM me if you want

i have a leatt one. if you have the leatt brace i would suggest looking at it. i really like its fit and feel. i am 6"3 and have tried the thor sentinel but for me its just too small. i think they advertise like 120-220lbs range but im 195 and it just doesnt work for me. i have not tried the fly one so i cant really speak on that.

I like my Fox Proframe LC, but it's more of a roost protector than a full on chest protector.

I had a leatt, rode with it for like 2 months and could never get used to it, it actually made me less comfortable so I just ditched it.

The Atlas brace is the best neck brace on the market right now IMO.

The white EVS which I believe is the R4, the most current one they have. It's too wide in the back and doesn't come down the spine like the others do so it won't tuck in the back of my fly pivitol. I choose the neck have over the roost guard because I worn a leatt too and the EVS is a lot less restrictive. Way more comfortable

im kinda considering a under the jersey roost guard cause i want my chest protector to work around my neck brace, not the other way around. what did you like and dislike for the leatt brace over the evs? thanks in advance

The leatt was just too restrictive and bulky. The EVS is comfortable and still gives you piece of mind

I just bought a A-8 from Motosport outlet for $199 shipped. It's hands down the most comfortable chest protector that i've ever had. Offers good protection and I like the wrap around rib protection too.

I've read that mxa really likes the leatt chest protector, And of you look at pics from Loretta lynns qualifiers alot of riders are wearing them. I've seen Kevin Windham with one and Trey Canard wears them too. Personally I want to buy the Troy Lee Designs/ Shock Doctor CP 5900. Both of these are designed to work with leatt braces.

If you want an actual chest "protector" and not just a roost guard...This is what I wear...I don't wear a neck brace, so I can't comment on whether or not if works with any of those...but in terms of protection and comfort, its the best I've ever used. It is a little warmer than a traditional chest protector (and that is my only complaint), but I honestly don't even notice the thing when I'm riding. Plus its nice to have built in elbow protection and kidney belt...I've taken several high speed tumbles across the desert in this thing, and I've walked away (I wear the fox titan pro knee/shin guards as well). I won't ride without it.

I bought one of these off EBAY last year and really like it. The back protection is great, it's lite, has a little shoulder protection. Really nice.
