Chest Protector
I look at it this way and can't afford $$$ to get hurt so I wear one along with boots, pants, jersey, helmet and googles. I feel much more confident while riding even though I may look silly to some of the other riders, I'am 32 and dont give a ---- what anyone else might talk about me.

As others have said they are primarily for roost deflection, but do help protect from injury. Not as common on quads, but when I was racing dirtbikes it saved me from getting road rash several times as I slid on my back/chest when involunterly dismounted. Any protective gear is worth the dough, and if you get the right ones some of them can look pretty cool. As for Degan.....don't get me startedl. I think hes an idiot, and a jerk. I do think he is ballzy, but I think the whole "metal melisha" thing is a joke and degrading for the sport. But again thats just my opinion. I guess I'm just a purist/Old foggy when it comes to Mx.

And does anybody know where you can get a Brian Deegan replica with the spikes?? Those things are badass.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
