Thor chest protectors

Thor chest protectors which are another rival for other companies such as Fox,are manufacturer of Youth Motocross Gear,including the line.Thor chest protectors come in a few shapes and sizes and are available for men and women, as well as youth.

The male line of chest protectors is more extensive than the other lines simply because there are more male racers than there are female or youth. Chest protectors for men range from being full armor including shoulders and elbows which is made from padded polycarbonate and polypropylene, to armor which resembles a tee shirt with a chest protector fastened to it made from mesh and bio-foam; it all depends on how much protection you feel each one would give and your own sense of style.

Chest protectors from Thor also have padded collars, plenty of ventilation, and removable pieces such as the shoulders and padding, if you’re so inclined to lighten your protector. They also tend to fit men of up to around two hundred and fifty pounds.

Female chest protectors are fewer from Thor, but they have the advantage of being specifically shaped for the female body so that a woman rider doesn’t have to jam herself into an uncomfortable chest protector. The fit includes contoured back and sides so that a woman rider feels more comfortable.

Unfortunately, Thor only has the Quadrant Protector for women right now, so you don’t have any options. Still, this chest protector and armor does its job well, so you won’t be disappointed by it. It fits women between eighty and a hundred and fifty pounds give or take. Like their male counterparts, it’s ventilated, has foam padding, and a padded neck for comfort and protection.

Thor chest protectors also come in sizes suitable for youth. These are smaller versions of the adult chest protectors and also have the contoured backs and sides, padded necks and some have removable shoulders and arm guards as well as the protector. However, there is little distinction between youth males and females and that can make it a bit difficult to shop for a younger rider. Youth chest protectors fit between forty and one hundred pounds, with forty to sixty pounds being more suitable for children.

Thor has made several chest protectors for their consumers, especially if you are a male rider, so it’s important to choose one you feel comfortable wearing and will thus wear whenever you are riding. Thor chest protectors may not have the same range of styles and makes as other companies, but the ones it does have are solid, reliable and do the job, so it’s well worth looking into when shopping for your motocross gear.
