$130.00 | | Purchased At: | Jenson/ USA | | Strengths: | Low profile
Mobility while wearing it | | Weaknesses: | None, really. | | Similar Products Used: | 661 Pressure suit | | Bike Setup: | 07 RMX Team | | Bottom Line: | So heres the deal. I hate wearing protection when it comes to DHing. I've dropped the elbow gaurds and have started to drop the knee gaurds. But the Core saver is just amazing. I can wear it under a regular shirt, and it doesn't limit my mobility at all. I seriously forget that I'm wearing it and nw I dont mind that my parents make me wear it. As for vents, I cant say. I've only ridden overcast/ rainy days so far. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$100.00 | | Strengths: | great fit. Not too bulky. Good protection for what it is. | | Weaknesses: | not bulletproof j/k | | Similar Products Used: | motocross chest protectors | | Bike Setup: | Jackal frame, pike 426 coil forks, AtomLab Pimp wheels, Saint cranks and some other stuff that doesn't need to be too strong | | Bottom Line: | If you need a little something that isn't as bulky as a motocross chest protector then it is perfect. It helps to protect everything in that area that I hate hurting. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$160.00 | | Strengths: | Light weight, doesn't feel bulky, stays in place very well. | | Weaknesses: | The velcro strap in the front could have been designed better. | | Similar Products Used: | none | | Bike Setup: | SC Bullit | | Bottom Line: | I am new to body armor and I find this one to be a good start. It fits well, stays in place, and you barely notice it when you have it on. I would recommend something with more protection for extreme downhill but is excellent for moderate freeride. The first day I wore it I was at Mont St-Anne where I did an endo going at a good speed and my chest landed first thing on a rock. It knocked the wind out of me really good, but walked away without a scratch or cracked ribs. I was very please with its performance. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$125.00 | | Purchased At: | a bike shop | | Strengths: | Very light weight, well ventilated, awesome spine protection and lower internal organs | | Weaknesses: | Velcro strap rides down onto my stomach and is sometimes uncomfortable | | Similar Products Used: | Most upper body pressure tops | | Bike Setup: | Demo 8 | | Bottom Line: | I have owned quite a few pressure tops in my day and most seem to sit on a hanger and collect dust. I'm definately one of the guys out there that likes to wear a t-shirt with no upper body pads most of the time. This is one pressure top that I don't mind. It's light weight and has pretty good pretection for what it is. It's not as burly as a full on pressure top with shoulders and elbows but works great for all but the gnarliest stuff. I would say that this top is perfect for sessions in the Bone Yard or Fast laps on A-line style trails. It comes up a little short when you get into the really gnarly stuff but does provide top knotch protection for your spine, kidneys and spleen. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
