Hello.
I`m thinkin about buying a protective vest for my body.
The most injuries i`ve had is actually on my upper body and my arms.
The Klim vest and the TekVest looks really good (all the rest of my gear is Klim),but i really want a vest that protects my arms too.
What vest do you think is the best and most moveable on the marked?
I tried a AXO mx (air cage) vest yesterday and i thought is was really good.
I see that Alpinestars also have one but i dont know of any other.

I've just bought the Freerie vest from Tekvest and think this is a wery good option, but as you stated this wont protect you'r arms, maby this one from Halvarsson's will(?)http://www.jofama.se/snowmobile_wear/product_details.php?id=58&cid=4
I've seen Tekvest's with ad on's on the arms, but they just look like silly arm rings in my opinion.
Fox deliver a whole range of different protective gear and comes at a fairly good prize too...

Klim vest is a tekvest I believe. I have the Klim and it fits great, buddy has the tekvest and likes it.

Mine is called a Thor impact rig, it's basically a mesh shirt with plastic armour built in to it. I wear it under my jacket, it has a removable spine protector and kidney belt. The chest, shoulder and elbow protection is not removable but I don't want to take it off anyway. This set up along with knee/shin pads has saved me some pain in the past, I won't ride without it any more. I don't even notice that I have it on when I ride.

I have the Klim vest,I really like the shoulder protection,makes carring a heavy backpack seem like it isn't there.I would never ride without it now.

what you are looking for is an upper body armor rig. like a 661 pressure suit, alpinestars bionic, these have chest and back protection, built in kidney belt and shoulder to arm protection. the run from about 100-300 depending on the style and model. ski
