Body protectors - Recommendations?

[FeatherPower]

Hello!

Well - having escaped a fractured spine by a very lucky miracle I am going to get a body protector. Although the fall was through choice (I bailed out on my galloping, spooking new lad) I think I need to take precautions, having never actually come off a horse before (and owned my previous one for 5 years!) I think I was a little blasé about riding my new lad. Lesson learned and have the x rays to prove it!

Which body protector would you recommend to those of us with, well, larger chests basically!

Thanks in advance!

Aerowear outlyne, fits my larger chest beautifully and is very adjustable!

Racesafe are very comfortable and you can get them in a shorter length, if you're short like me

I have a massive chest (not bragging, would prefer not to have). The only one that fits me comfortably is the racesafe and it's quite flattering too!

I'm the same, fell of my youngster in July, first time since I can remember, god it hurt, never been in so much pain in my life as I was the next day! I bought the race-safe and fine it really comfortable. My mum was laughing, she spent years naggig me to wear one and I would'nt. It hurts so much more now though!

i fell off and fractured my spine 5months ago, the first thing i did when i got the all clear to start riding again is get fitted for a body protector (20:20 hindsight is a wonderful thing)
i have an aeroware riever elite i only have small boobs though

This airowear one is the best I found. I can fit my rather large chest in it and the waist velcros smaller so it fits all over without either being too big round the waist or squishing my chest flat.

Yay, well done for landing not on your head

I was going to say the Exo, but they aren't suited to curvey bits!

which model of the Racesafe or aerowear ones do you use?
