Body armor designed to start just above the belt line could be at the bottom of my rib cage, arm holes tiny, etc. Fit is just crap and I have had manufacturers tell me "Well they run a little long.."" and I get them and they are uncomfortably short or bulky around the arms. Tek-Vest for me winds up being like sledding with a life jacket on.
Fox MTB gear for downhill mountain biking. It is made for active body movement. Knee/shin guards, chest protector w/ shoulder and elbow guards. I am not wearing my kidney belt.
I banged up a knee while wearing zero protection on my sled years ago.......got me thinking......would I have ever hopped on my YZ without my protective gear. It was a costly mistake.
Many years ago I purchased a Tec Vest to wear while boondocking. Had a friend that had just got released to do some trail riding after having shoulder surgery so I loaned him my vest. Needless to say, I made an error in judgment. Got a bit carried away doing some ditch banging and ended up in a treewell. Broke a couple ribs. He ended up riding more that season than I did. So, I never ride without the vest and my kidney belt, for my old back.
