I have a great Alpinestars suit I have been using and the Tech back protector with it. I just purchased a Bionic 2 vest that has a back protector built in that just zips off. I dont understand why but its a medium, which is the same size as my A.S. Tech back protector. For some reason its 4 inches shorter and doesnt cover my whole back the way the Tech Protector does (the one that comes with the Bionic 2 Jacket). Also I can't get the suit on with the armour thats already in the shoulders and the elbows of the suit, and have double the armour cause the Bionic 2 Jacket comes with it in the shoulders and elbows. I cant really find any way of getting this stuff out of the suit, and I was wondering if I should just cut the arms off and use it for just a chestprotector, and use my old Tech Back protector for the back. I can't find a way to get the built in armour out of my suit and dont know how, and if its even worth it. Should I just cut the limbs off this vest. I really wouldnt be that mad seeing as I got this thing for $185.00 (usually $239.00)on ebay and its in perfect condition, I just wanted something more for my chest area. I did notice the post from the other day and I was wondering if anyone knows of a good just chest protector, then I could resell this thing. I really dont want a back protector built in and the one a few people recommended before are not approved. If you can recommend something thanks, and if not and I find something else and your interested in this Bionic 2 Jacket let me know I will sell it to you for no profit on my end. Thanks
Knox just came out with an updated chest protector. It's an excellent design and you won't be dissapointed. STG sells it at @ $58. http://stores.sportbiketrackgear.com/Detail.bok?no=1030 pic of the old one on top and the new one on the bottom.
