February 25, 201610 yr With that huge obstacles, seems like Raga, Bou e cia will be wearing some chest protection in 2017. Personally (after 40 years old, my ribs aren't so flex anymore), I like to use (Fox titan sport subframe) but at 35-40ºC it's not possible big part of the year. for sure, some fuss to come.
February 25, 201610 yr Regarding "armour type" protection I have never worn more than knee protectors for trials. In MX my trousers had built in knee and hip armour, My upper body armour was fox which consisted of chest and upper back protector and shoulder protection. Elbows and forearms I use sinisalo protectors. Lower back is protected by a Protek belt. I know the UK is not that hot but never felt it uncomfortable to wear. The Upper body protector actually hold the shirt off you and allows cool air to circulate. I would not think wearing body armour will be a problem
February 26, 201610 yr There's a video on this site "James and Jan @ work", he says at the end that he's wearing a development one and it's working well Edited February 26, 201610 yr by hulmie
