I have an alpinestars A-10. in my opinion, it’s the best off road protection you can get if you want full coverage (minus elbows unfortunately). Fits under a jersey and is very light/breathable. all CE-2.
The Fox Raceframe, TLD Rockfight, and I believe the A-1 Pro all have removable backs. But honestly, they're so low profile that I don't think you'd need to remove that backs with a hydration pack. - Chase
I love Troy Lee stuff but I purchased the Troy Lee roost deflector they show there and it's wimpy to say the least. It's just for small roost, that's it. So keep that in mind.
I like the A1 but wondering how long is the back part compared to the A 6. Seems the A1 would be reaching the to of your pants on the back. Constantly moving the whole thing???
Chase i am 60 and want good chest,back,shoulder and rib protection. I do not care for the jackets down in South East Texas national forests and South West Louisiana. Which in your opinion has the best protection. I have the Leatt 5.5 with no rib coverage. Tm leaning towards the Alpine A-10 V2 even over the Leatt 6.5. Please give me your opinion. Thanks and keep up the great work yall do.
I've really liked my A-1 Pro from Alpinestars. That and the Fox Raceframe D30 are my two favorites right now. Fly has their new revel lite that is really good too, but I don't know if we have any in stock right now in the smaller sizes. - Chase
