You can still pick up Exos second hand, though infrequently and unfortunately they're set to be unsuitable for BE next year when the new standards come in. I love mine and am dreading having to give it up. I will still always wear it for xc schooling
In my youth I was unlucky enough to have a couple of rotationals with no body protector - they weren't available back then...I was also lucky enough to get up and walk away
