I love how much better protected your shoulders are in this vs. my old Z-1 jacket. And it almost fits my boobs comfortably. I may try messing around heating it up with a hairdryer or something to see if I can mold the chest plates at all to make it better, but it's better than most, anyway.

That is sharp! I love the coverage you get down the spine. Looks like you got your monies worth.

I like I like!

I have the same problems with my body armor, doesn't fit in the chest right. They should make women's specific body armor with different size chests "cups".

Heh. Well, it's not a picture of me, it's a picture of Krispy. (I was just showing what I bought, not what I look like in it...) ;)

Nice. Next year will be new armor for me. A tree branch speared my left arm and ripped the pad off. Also Dainese. I figured I'll just keep beating up on it this year and get something new next season.

Bummer! Do you have a good shop that can sew stuff up like that? Around here we take things to Kirkhams - they make tents and such and do a good job with the industrial strength repairs necessary for fixing armor.

Very cool! I will keep that in mind for when I can't get something fixed locally! :D

Let me know how that hair dryer method works. I've been bitching about not being able to find girl specific armor for a while now! Thanks, Rach

Finally some boob cups! Nothing more uncomfortable than squeezing them behind a flat piece of plastic on a hot day.

You're welcome. I knew that would become available the moment I spent that much money on armor... ;)
