    hahaha..well, I really love my wife, but she isn't exactly ebay-savvy..#-o..she thought a best offer meant you got it for the price that you submit..

    oh well, we shall see and I might just get lucky..:)


    I know you guys were foaming at the mouth for a good deal..sorry for the letdown..8-[

    You can also call The Path Bike Shop and see what there price is. I believe STR members get 10-15% off.

    Before grabbing that ...

    Go try on a Thor Impact Rig or the Impact Rig SE.
    100$ for the regular which is short sleeve and the SE is 139$ with elbow/forearm armor. The Mrs bought me one for X-mas and I have used it a few times now.

    I've gotta say it is the most comfortable I have tried and it fits on the large side. I bought the XL/XXL and there is still room for my fat gut and chest in there.

    Your local MX shop (I go to TRE) should have one or two in stock.

    here is a pic ofthe Impact Rig and Impact Rig SE

    I just bought a Flak Jacket XXL. I have a 48" chest and its about right on size wise. There are a few adjustment straps to custom tune things but the design aids in not needing a perfect fit. Suprisingly comfortable too. So their sizing seems pretty true to me.
