Chest up – ATV chest protectors for the smart ATVer

A smart ATVer will never think that there’s too much protection. In all the years that we have spent riding our ATVs, we can never imagine riding our quads without the basic safety gears – and yet, as we progress, we begin to add on to the number of gears we have to wear before we start riding our ATVs. Frankly speaking, imagine an astronaut…yup, we know what an astronaut feels like when we have to wear all those ATV gears. Irks us too. But as with astronauts, we also know how it feels like to be airborne. But unlike astronauts who can stay airborne in outer space, we actually have to land when we fly off our ATVs. Hence, too many scraps, broken bones, twisted ankles and wrists and busted ribs later, we know better now.

Apart from the helmet, there are many other important ATV protective gears that we have to take into consideration. If you’ve been riding ATV for some time, you know by now that the helmet is a necessity! If you don’t, go back to ATV safety school and get that safety rule hammered into your head. Although many people don’t think much about upper body protection when riding ATVs, we beg to differ.

Tracks and trails are intentionally designed with obstacles (that’s where the fun is, right?) and sometimes things happen and it’s not always within our control. There was once we had an ATV land on one of us and broke a couple of ribs along the way. A huge hospital bill later, that person never rides without his ATV chest protector anymore. You might think that chest protector is for dirt bike riders where collision and crashes happen more often but you’ll be surprised. If you’re a hard core ATV enthusiast who enjoys a fair amount of racing, you SHOULD consider getting yourself a high quality low cost ATV chest protector like the ones we have from Thor. Value for the money, folks. I know you can’t pin a price to life but once you have an injury serious enough to injure your bank accounts, you’ll soon see the ‘value’ in protecting your chest when you ride your ATV.

Chest protection for ATVers were introduced back in the 80’s (might be 70’s…can’t be too sure) but after much research done on the products, we can tell you that ATV chest protectors are much better than what it used to be. Gathering feedback from professional ATVers and also from the road-racing crowd, ATV product manufacturers have come up with designs so ‘concrete’ and dependable that it can literally save your life. After all, ATVing is an intense and competitive sport in many ways.

The price range for ATV chest protectors varies according to quality, availability and brand. But if you make a quick search on the Internet, you might find affordable ones for yourself. Oh, while you’re at it, if you have kids who ride ATVs as well, keep them safe by buying them an ATV chest protector.
