Spidi airpack...5 crashes....and no probs...

Although, I'd prolly spring for the Bohn Pro back protector now...

I use a Bohn Back Protector. As a matter of fact I have a brand new (still in original packaging) Bohn Pro Racer back protector (large) for sale if you're interested. I've never used it. I just ordered the wrong size. So let me know.

Alpinestars race, kinda bulcky but feels durable for a wreck.

Impact Safety Armor!! Custom made/fitted with a chest protector!!

I've crashed it (twice) and it worked well!!!!
One crash at Jennings(turn 4 if I'm correct, came in way to hot) and Nashville Superspeedway(slide on my back and rear for a good distance and didn't feel a thing!)!!
http://impactarmor.homestead.com/index~ns4.html Micheal make or made stuff for Colin Edwards also! Nice gear and comfy!! Price isn't bad either!!

Hey Hammer.....make me an offer...I'll be posting it in the classifieds later today...

**AMP** · 05-16-2005, 07:08 AM

Bohn Pro Racer Back and Chest protector here.

**Mydogfarted** · 05-16-2005, 07:14 AM

Helimot TLV. It has a tunnel over your spine and is designed to spread the impact away from the middle of your back. Kind of bulky but great protection.

**RADRB8** · 05-16-2005, 08:27 AM

Kobe' 7 plate vented from www.1888fastlap.com fits great, breathes good and offers good protection...

**Sliider55** · 05-16-2005, 11:09 AM

Hammer,
Did you make an offer? Let me know if you didn't.

Sliider55,
Do you have any pics that you can email me? I would like to see it.

I was looking at the Icon vest also because it has the back and the chest protector. It also has protection for your collarbones. Those are two bones that I really want to not ever brake.
