BMX Chest Guards & Body Protection
Chest and back protection is strongly recommended for all BMX race competitors, and required at some sanctioned events and for riders under a specific age depending on the sanctioning body. The injury pattern that chest protection addresses is primarily handlebar impacts and track surface contact during crashes.
