Every female motorcyclist needs to know about this ergonomic chest protector. Trauma to the chest is the leading cause of death (after head and spinal cord) in motorcycle accidents. Didn’t know that, didja? It comes to no surprise that sternal fractures, lung laceration, aortic rupture (among other injuries) can be seriously bad news for you. You’ve probably already got your helmet and back protector, so it’s now time to think about that ol’ ticker you got there!
Dainese Thorax Pro Lady has lateral rib protection plates in astromemory and an extruded polypropylene sandwich. Double jersey liner, perforated plates, and flexible side fabric.
Oh and guess what? It’s got boob room, so if you have a rack and don’t want it smashed, have a heart and want to protect it… this is the shit.
And uh, yeah, I’ve got one.
I’m so excited to announce the project that I’ve been working on for two years… a book all about badass motorcycling women! In the MotoLady’s Book of Women Who Ride you’ll meet 74 of the most influencial motorcyclists of the last century. Motorcycle heroes, trailblazers, and record-breakers like Jessi Combs, Shayna Texter, Laia Sanz, Gloria Tramontin-Struck, the Van Buren sisters, and more can be found inside the 184 pages of this hard cover book celebrating motorcycling women!

Hi MotoNani.
I loved your review, and i want to question about if it´s possible to combine this Woman´s Thorax Chest Protector with a Dainese Jacket Wave pro. That body armor has the chest replacement option, so… my idea is to buy a small size “jacket wave pro” and this lady´s chest protector (Or the pro version, with the straps) and combine them, to transform the jacket wave pro in a “Girl´s designed Jacket wave pro”. Is it a good idea? Does the smallest size of the Dainese body armors fit well in a 1,65 mt tall girl? Thank you
