I have had the occasion where I wish I had been wearing one from time to time, but never bought on...

When you are on an ATV instead of a dirtbike you have a little better level of protection so it is something you dont think much about.

There has been times though where a stiff branch or a rock launched from the guy in front you you makes you wish you had one...

What made you either want to wear one or not wear one?

I don't own one. Might be a good idea, but we really don't fly around roosting each other. I probably should get one for my Daughter.

I will be purchasing the AXO Air Cage soon. Why? Two years ago I found out the hard way you don't need to be traveling very fast to get hurt. I was almost at a standstill when my bike went off a little drop and shifted. I was just about to put the bike in neutral when this happened and when it shifted I bumped the thumb throttle and the next thing I know I was in the blueberry bushes looking at the sky. I slammed my elbow and knee on some rocks. I guess riding gear only works if you......wear it!! LOL!!

The AXO AirCage offers great all around protection to the arms, chest, and back. It also has a built-in kidney belt. It has ample ventilation. Cons: People have said they put their fingers through the meshing while putting it on or taking it off. So you will have to be a bit careful. Aside from that I've heard really good reviews.

Hmmm... they are cool... Might have to look into one of them...

I always hated how they looked on the outside of a jersey...

Plus I usually have something printed on my jersey, so these would cure both...

Very neat idea... Thanks for sharing... Anyone else have something like this?

If so, how do you like them?

i have a fox air frame, long with dodging rocks from other racers/riders in front of you they help to keep alot of mud off your shirt. i also wear knee and shine guards as well and glad i do, makes it alot easier to kneel down on the track and not have to watch out planting your knee on rocks plus i cant count how many times ive hit my shines on my trailer tongue with the guards on, only took once with out them to figure out that it kinda hurts lol. i think chest protectors are a great idea incase you wreck most of the time you wont get the wind knocked out of ya from landing on your back on a huge rock or stump or branch plus if you get ran over the tires wont give you road rash.

i bought one and its to hot to wear. the only good think i found out about them is if your buddy in front of you has a dirt bike, it will help with the rocks on the chest.
