FXRG Jacket and Arai Helmet
« on: April 25, 2010, 07:34:27 AM »

So a different assessment of the FXRG Jacket (Nylon) and Arai (Corsair V) helmet.  I was stopped behind a car that was waiting to turn left and hit from behind by a car a 50 mph, March 24.  Car in front was a new mustand...all three vehicles were totalled. I went airborne and landed 178 feet down the road, hiting the top of my helmet first, and then apparently my back and the flipping and hitting the back of my helmet. I hit my back sufficiently hard to put an imprint of the armour webbing into the FXRG jacket. I sustained no head injury of any kind, and fractured T8 T9 transverse processes and sternum.  This equipment saved my life so I just wanted to convey my endorsement of both!!  We sometimes discuss comfort or rain protection, etc.  but I suupose this is another type of test worth considering
