Full details
The Troy Lee Designs Rockfight Chest Protector is an essential piece of safety equipment for young mountain bike and motocross riders who require reliable protection against roost, debris, and impacts. Offering a CE EN14021 certified stone shield and integrated EPP foam in critical zones, it delivers a high level of safety without adding unnecessary bulk. While it provides excellent coverage and airflow, users should note that it is specifically engineered for a form-fit profile which may require careful adjustment to suit individual body shapes for maximum comfort during long rides.

Troubleshooting
Protector shifts during riding
Tighten the side flex straps and verify that the shoulder strap length is not too loose.
Shoulder pads feel uncomfortable
Adjust the angle of the fore/aft shoulder straps; if the irritation persists, consider removing the shoulder pads if your riding environment allows.
Excessive heat buildup
Ensure that the jersey worn over the protector is moisture-wicking and loose-fitting to allow the chest protector's air channels to function.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, start by loosening all shoulder and side straps. Put the protector on and adjust the shoulder straps first so the front plate sits comfortably over the center of the chest. Once the height is set, tighten the side flex plates to ensure the unit does not shift during movement.
Compatibility: This protector is designed to be compatible with most neck braces. If using a neck brace, ensure the brace sits under the shoulder straps if necessary for a proper interface.
Care: To clean, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents that could degrade the EPP foam or plastic shell. Allow the protector to air dry away from direct sunlight, which can cause the plastics to become brittle over time.
