After breaking my ribs two separate times with a womens chest protector I finally looked for something with additional protection. I absolutely love my 5.5 HD Leatt! It has saved my ribs a few times in the few years that I have had it. It is on the heavy side for a woman but it definitely makes up for it with the added protection. I wont ride without it.

Rib protection!
★★★★
Bashed up my ribs pretty good recently so I was looking for a chest protector that had some rib protection. There wasnt much to choose from so I took a chance on the Leatt 5.5. and am very pleased. It is protective but not bulky. I dont notice it when riding. Off the bike it can get a bit uncomfortable but it comes off quickly.
