Impact Armor chest protector

Just received my new chest protector from Impact Armor (http://www.impactarmor.com/). It is custom made and fitted to each individual. You send him your measurements, and he'll make up a foam template for you to try on for size. Then simply give him the okay, or discuss any adjustments needed, and the final product will be ready for you.

I will be "field testing" this for the first time in 2 days at the track. As expected, the sizing is perfect, covering the bulk of my ribcage and sternum. It is meant to be worn and held in place by a snug fitting suit, as there are no straps. I zipped it inside my one piece, and it molds perfectly to the shape of my upper torso. Plus I feel like I can take a very hard blow to the chest without batting an eye.

The armor itself is perforated to allow airflow, and is enclosed in a breatheable pouch that unzips to allow removal of the armor piece.

Best part is, you get all this for $90 plus shipping. Hard to beat considering it is a custom piece of protection. Also, it doesn't hurt to know that this is the same chest protector used by the likes of Nicky Hayden and Colin Edwards.

Oh yeah, the name tag and emergency medical data card are nice touches too :01_thumbu
