Chest protector thickness - Knox vs Forcefield
Hello All,
I currently have the Knox chest protector, and although I like it very much, I do find it to be on the thick side. I am curious if the Forcefield Race-Lite chest protector is any thinner? If so, by how much? I am finding that with the Pro Sub 4 back protector and Knox Chest protector, it adds quite a bit of "bulk" under my jacket. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, jp129 |

Not sure what knox you have but I though mine was a bit much under the jacket. I ended up getting a icon stryker for non track riding. Try one on. Great vest for everyday riding. Looks bulky but its truly not.

hmmm, I don't have any experience with that model. I would think the Icon I linked would be even thicker in the chest than what your currently wearing.
