I recently was riding down our old country roads. Beautiful roads btw, and a logging truck pulled out and I began to get close looking for an option to pass. When the truck shot up some bit of old pavement or a rock and it struck me in the upper left torso. doing about 45 MPH i thought somebody had shot me I almost lost control of the bike and ended up in the woods. I managed to pull the bike over and lifted my shirt up to reveal a huge bruise with a welt in it. its still hurts like a bitch!

So was wondering if anyone out thier is rocking vest armor? I seen one on Pink Gorrilas website that looks ok. Anyone have any suggestions of good ones? or places? thanks all!
 
I use icon field armor vest under my jacket. Chest and back protection, I love it
 
Yep love the icon field armor. To bad they are making them in red and purple. I had to search for about a month to find a new one that was just black and white. But it just collects bugs on my rides.
 
Yeah I would wear my jacket over but out gets to hot to wear a jacket all summer. Some protection is better than none. I an tired of seeing people without helmets. I can only tell so many.
 
Icon field armor like everyone says plus sometimes you can find them used on craigslist for like $50
 
Will do Im going with the Icon Field Armor! thanks everyone for the input, and my bruise still hurts haha.

Diet Slinger: I always wear my helmet, Even though last Week my State Michigan just passed a new helmet free law. I will still wear mine I went head first into a car windshield last summer so If im on a bike Ill have a helmet [up] but i do believe in choosing for yourself
