Which body protectors do you have??

[Chills]

I am thinking about getting a new body protector - I have an old one at the moment that I can no longer squeeze into!!!!! no easter eggs for me he he he.
What body protectors do you all have? Which ones would you recommend? They are all horrid and far too hot and inflexible for my liking. Love to hear your views.

I've got a champion cobra I never use. It IS rather hot and uncomfortable, but I believe it's less so than other bps. it IS a bit expensive though.

Cobra.

I've got a racesafe 2000. I like it a lot more than my other one which is a Rodney Powell.

I love my Rodney Powell

Air o wear zippa

Air-o-Wear zippa, the older design one

 

[Chills]

Yep, my old one was the Zippa Plus - but in hindsight don't think I will have the full shoulders again - restricts you too much.
I do like the look of the Cobra I have to say.
Seems there is no such thing as a cool one !!!

Corba. I dont find it too hot, its WAY better than my old one! I think mine is a tiny bit too big for me though as the back of it does sometimes hit the back of my saddle which is pretty irritating but only on one of my saddles!

I quite like mine, it isnt particularily restricting at all I dont think. I forget about it when I compete in it so I guess thats a good thing!

air-o-wear velcro one, it's quite bulky to be fair but is actually very comfortable. I had a zippa one but the zip went and wasn't repairable and put me off.

not sure which will happen first, my impending cropper or the fund for the body protector!

Snap, lol!! Although I'm currently nursing a knackered shoulder from where my horse barged into me on the ground (windy and he spooked). You just never know when you might need it!!

I'm regretting being 5'10", I'm going to have to pay a bloomin fortune for mine!
