Sparco Body Protector

More than just a rib protector, the Sparco body protector protects the shoulders, back and chest. Although this can be a sweaty item to wear in the summer, there are some things that are worth a little discomfort. This is the most protective of what we have seen on the current market and could well save some nasty injuries.
