Default Chest protectors for women

OK, so I hit return before making the initial post, so sue me.

Anyway, does anyone know of any company that makes chest protectors specifically designed for women, you know, a bit (or a lot for those lucky ones) convex in the upper chest area. I want my daugher to wear one for protection, and to set a good example I wear one as well. The only problem is that your t*ts get squished and it hurts. Has anyone heard of such a product?

Glad to see a concerned and responsible parent! It's good to set the example early on and let everyone around know that it's safety first!

I've seen one before, I just can't recall where...I'll be looking around....

Here's something that may interest you/her MXGirls

Found one : Acerbis Women's Fusion D-Flector


I'd also think that any chest protector would suffice....they are very adjustable

my wife has DD and the acerbis is made for small B's and smaller. I got her the Troy Lee. It bends on Kevlar straps and contours to the breasts better. It's not a "womens" chest protector but it works well for her.

Hi Katstoy! My girlfriend and daughter wear the Acerbis, and it is OK. I think it lacks coverage on the sides of the lower back though. But, that is a trend with Acerbis. It would be nice to see more manufacturers get into this part of the market!

My daughter rolled a Suzuki LT160 (the old one with racks) in the dunes years ago, trying to avoid being run over by an out-of-control sand rail. The rack hit her in the upper chest. Cracked the chest protector (an earlier model Acerbis)!! But she was just fine!

also if you have big breasts with the acerbis they stick out the sides which was uncomfortable for my wife.
