Which body protector?

[emmanash]

Hi all. I always wear my b.p when riding but I'm finding it's restricting my movement and effecting my position in the saddle. Can anyone recommend a decent b.p that allows movement and is comfy? My current one is a Charles Owen one.
Thanks in advance

Mine is a racesafe rs2010, I find it really comfy and not restrictive.

I have a racesafe, very comfortable. I also think the Dainese is supposed to be very light and comfortable to - I think when I change mine that's what I'm going to buy

Dainese Balios 3 - make sure it's the one rated Beta Level 3 if you want to use it for XC .

I've got one and it's made up of loads of small hexagons so is really light and flexible. I'll never go to a different brand now. It is worth getting to try one on first though as the sizes are a little difficult - there's a size chart with measurements here: http://www.treehouseonline.co.uk/sizes/56

You might fit into a kids size one which is £100 cheaper than the adults so trying them on will pay off! If you're near Swansea and think a kids L might fit you're welcome to try mine ..

Thanks for the replies. I'll have a look at the one's you've recommended

You need to go and try on a few, see which feels and fit the best. I have a Racesafe which felt the best of those I tried on, though I generally still don't much like wearing one!
