What happened to them? I know some still wear them, but i've noticed that kids (myself included) wear them on 85's, 125's, and about the age of 16 seem to get rid of them. I know i personally wear an under the jersey little foam thing for roost, but lately i've been thinking that I need to wear a real protector again. I think the problem is that pro's dont wear them for a few reasons: comfortability, heat, weight, and covering up the jersey... its just not cool. But these pro's race as a career and probably dont care about injuries as much as the local guy who needs to work on Monday. I think all the pro's not wearing them (until they get to unadilla) definately influence up and coming kids.
I'm nervous that ill spend the money on one, and after all the years of not wearing one i will not like it anymore. What do you guys think about the benefits of a traditional hard protector with shoulder cups? I would be getting the top of the line Answer protector. I just dont feel like wasting my money... and i cant even remember what its like to ride with one.
