I was riding Wednesday and high sided it over a berm. I landed so hard it knocked the wind out of me. I landed on my right arm and shoulder. Luckily nothing broken (this time). I know I need shoulder pads but am having a hard time finding ones that fit. I am 275 and very thick chested. Is there anyone out there with the same problem? If so where did you find shoulder pads. Help please and thanks in advance.
I also sport "open class" dimensions. 6'1", 275 lbs. 44" waist w/ a 50" chest. The only pads that never felt like a straight jacket was an old HRP Hannah Flak- Jak. It was adjustable to my size and did not feel restrictive yet still offered good protection when I did step off at speed to take a soil sample. Unfortunately after years of use it finally broke, cracked and had to be retired. I would like to find another one... I am now using an old pair of Jofa "under the jersey" shoulder pads. They lace up front and back like football pads so they can be spread wide enough to fit my ample frame.
