Western States Racing Association PRODUCT EVALUATION Presents the SPARKS' ARRESTORS ARE MANDATORY Riders must complete 50% of Sportsman - • • • SPORTSMAN. CLASSES' • • • MX Fox Roost-D-Flector By Kit Palmer Chest protectors have come a long way from the days when foam and vinyl covered only a rider's chest and front shoulder areas. They were better than Callan jerseys - but not much. It seemed their ooly purpose was to keep the from of your jersey clean or for a placeforyourspon or's logs. Today, most chest protecLOr have emerged imo hest/shoulder/back protection, are made of hard plastic and come in a rainbow of colors. And keeping up with L1ie "bird cage" trend is the new Roost-D-Flector from MOLO-X Fox. The Roost-D-FlecLOr is a fully vemilated, suspended chest, shoulder and back protecLOrdesigned for maximum upper body protection, and i made from injection molded plastic that guards a rider's fle h from flying roost debris and unexpected soil samples. Fox's Roost-D-Flector only LOuches the rider in a few places, so in a crash, the plastic flexes enough LO spread the blow over a wide area LO help absorb the impacl. We had more than enough opponunity LO find out that it really did seem LO work, and the construction held up to the abuse. The shoulder pieces are adjustable and can b removed in seconds if needed with a slip of a pin that connects the shoulder cups to the from and back pan. Slipping the Roost-DFlecLOr on and off is as easy as cou Id be expected with two elastic bands that slide over your arms and two quick-connect- release straps around the waisl. The only problem witb fit is when wearing a full coverage helmet. because the nose piece of the helmet will hit the LOp of the chest protector when looking down atone's feel. However, when riding, there is no problem. Overall, the Roost-D-FlecLOr is comfortable LO wear because it doesn't restrict movemem and is light and cool. But, besl of all, they look stylish. Color choice is limited LO yellow or white bodies with blue, red or black ouLlines (black only on yellow). and come with rugged Fox decals. For around $55. the Roo t-D-Flector is a wonh-while investmenl. Look for them at your local dealer or comaCl MOLO-X Fox at Depl. CN, 520 McClincy Lane. Campbell.
