Who makes the best extra large roost protector so I can turn my head without rubbing my protector?
At times it has hung up for a split second and throws of the flow of the ride. It seems most of these are made for men smaller than 5'10" and 200# which is exactly what I am but it feels and looks like I am wearing a kids protector. (If you don't believe me... look in Fuzzy's gallery!)

I have found a Thor XL protector but at $130 I am a little hesitant in purchasing one without checking out all the options and asking you guys.

So, what should I be looking at?

Thanks!

Not Fox ones, I'm 6'5" and mine looks like a bikini top on me.

Ewwww!!!!

Speaking of bad mental pictures...

I love mine:

Tell them Phil Jensen sent you.

Best protection available, and it fits perfect.

Acerbis makes a ZOOM II Plus protector that works good for me. You can find them for about 120 online which still isn't cheap but it has lot's of room. I am 5'8" 220 so the protector is a little long for my frame but I needed the extra width for some reason. Oh to be 135 again and 25 yrs old!

Oh, and here is a good reiew of the rockgardn. I found the review to be very true, so I won't write up my own.

(and they go all the way up to 3XL to fit a 49" chest )

Way better protection than my hard plastic chest protector gave.

My sister has a armor jacket similar to the rockgardn (sixsixone I think) that she loves...her only complaint is that its easy to overheat wearing it.

There's some other brand I've heard of but can't remember. They make upper body protectors for the rodeo crowd as well, so you KNOW that's some serious protection. The problem is, as off road riders, we tend to overheat wearing something that doesn't breath. Unlike rodeo or even a 30 minute moto, we are riding for hours without stopping sometimes, like enduros; 5 or 6 hours with the only stop a 20 minute gas up.
I just bought a Fox AirFrame in Large. It isn't. Large that is. I'm 5'11" and 185. It's not too small but I sure wish it was longer in the torso. My belly is so exposed and my lower back as well. What ever you get, be sure to try it on first to be sure it fits.
Don't forget to post back what you got as well in the review section!!!!

Yeah... I don't want the body suit type. Just a good one that fits correctly. I have my mind set on a XL one even though by non-bike standards I'm not XL. I like the Moose one and the Thor so far....
