Under shirt with backplate only?

SCARY

Not long enough
And maybe a kidney belt?.I want something sleeveless and that'll fit kinda snug...so I can flash the guns if I feel threatened.
I've seen the poc and that looks pretty good except for the shoulder pads.Anything else along those lines?

I was thinking about the samething, since I just broke four vertebrae. I also only want the spine protector. I found this, but not many reveiws for it yet.

I've been using it for 2 seasons. Super comfy, can't feel a thing during the crash. Only drawback is, i wish it would be a tad longer (it is 50cm long and 34cm wide). I'm 6' 2". 1 more thing, after a season i had to buy some new velcro hooks and sew it on, coz original one was kinda weak after 1 year.

I have the Poc VPD and it fukk in dreamy on hot days. Highly recommended by me
I'm thinking of getting the short sleeve version for myself this season. Just hoping the shoulder chest and rib protection is reasonably close to a Kali Sarpa2.

i've been using the POC spine only one since they came out. can't recommend it enough.


spam: i have a spare XL one sitting in my basement collecting dust, never used. i'll let it go for practically nothing just to free up the space. realistically though you need to be like 6' 6" or bigger for it to fit properly.

So I can get the poc vpd 2.0 or the regular white vest pretty cheap.Im not really sure about the magic padding in this stuff, it just doesn't seem like it'd be as good as olé plastic. Also, any idea about the ventilation between these too? It gets rather toasty out here.

the vpd stuff is worlds better. articulates much better, edges won't dig into you in a crash, i've been using one since they came out. they do get a little hot, but IMO the other performance gains are worth it.

I'll second the plc vpd 2.0 line of protectors. I've been using them for about 6 months any they've been awesome. The protection for a soft type of pad is excellent and they aren't hot, warm yes, but not hot.

Buckow,

Any idea how I can get my hands on the Recruit Pro 2 top here in the US? A Google search lists a few British and Euro vendors, but it doesn't seem like there's a go-to company in the US. Thanks.
