In my search for more comfortable and protective safety gear that actually fits, I was introduced to the owner of Impact Armor, Mike Braxton, through my boyfriend, Troy Cook. Troy has raced in Impact Armor for many years and crashed several times while wearing their chest and back protectors…he swears by them for comfort and safety. Last season I wore a Tryonic Feel 3.7 Race back protector ($199.99) which did not have kidney protection and had a Dainese chest protector ($69.95) of which I could only wear one on track since it was too bulky to wear both. 
Not to mention how uncomfortable and distracting either of them were to have on while riding. The purpose of protection is safety and what good is protection when it is uncomfortable and a distraction? Impact Armor changes all that! While filling out the custom armor form it became very clear I was going to have to discuss my body type with Mike to make sure the armor would fit accordingly. As we all know, women come in all shapes and sizes
and that comes with serious challenges when trying to purchase things off the rack. Mike believes protective armor will only work if it fits, doesn’t distract from the task and the individual is confident it will function as needed. I believe the list of clients on his website are a testament to his dedication and success in his endeavor to protect us all in our chosen sport.
I have negotiated a special deal for both the women and men that are members of my site. While it will be easier to fit the men, the 
gals will need to add some extra measurements, send pictures and stay in contact with Mike during the process of the development of their protective gear. Impact’s female chest and back protectors are made to measure. And as such, your input during the design phase of the chest protector 
profile (in particular) is essential. It is also important to note that this process can last a month (during off season) or more should racing season be in progress as protectors are placed in order of urgency. Racers that require protectors before a certain date will need to tell Mike that they have a deadline. Mike will ship to tracks, hotels, where ever needed 
to make sure individuals receive their order when needed. Impact Safe-T Armor can withstand multiple crashes, however should their be a question sending a quick text or email will allow Mike to determine if they are still usable or require repairs and/or replacement. Please be aware these are not just for racers, they are made for various applications 
including street and track day riders. If you are unsure which one to order call Mike and he will guide you to the one that best suits your riding needs. The offer is as follows:
1. 5% off chest or back protector only
2. 10% off the purchase of both a chest and back protector
3. Shipping and Handling capped at $17 for template and final product
