Last I checked Rocky Mountain carries a brand called Nemesis for about 80 bucks including elbow pads and a kidney belt. Dreth uses one and so does Hoosier Daddy. Just my 2 cents...
Title: Re: last thing to get whats the best chest protetor to get Post by: HondaATC on February 26, 2007, 08:41:38 PM I've been wondering about those under jersey protectors. The over the jersey type ones have always bothered me because they do (sometimes pretty severely) limit your range of motion and prevent you from looking around when your helmet hits the shoulder guards. What exactly are they made out of? I've seen a few before but they were more just like a big foam pad and didn't look like they'd actually protect you from any hard hits. Is there a big hard plate in them or how exactly is it setup?

Everything is held together with a stretchy mesh-like material. Some are sleaveless but mine has arm protection as well.
