Those who wear a body protector when competing?

Personally I don't (unless for XC when non optional), but from the point of view of the rules (for all the associations I can think of), it's permissable to do either.

From an aesthetic angle, over probably better - that way you can still use a current jacket (that fits) and you will still look smart when you take it off (prize givings, photos etc). If planning to wear under then there's the potential for looking like bag lady / child dressed up in big sisters clothing if you want to take it off but wear jacket. Not to mention people always look rather bizarre when they wear them under cos the top half looks about ten sizes bigger than the bottom half! Doesn't seem to look so bad when they're over! Isn't the brain a funny thing lol!
