I don't leave home with out it. Worth its weight in gold if you hit the bars or get bucked off.

Won't ride without it. I also like the way it spreads the weight of the pack across my back.
Plus it's a nice and warm.
Got one comming after BACKCOUNTRY's FUBAR.

Worth It
I highly recommend it it has saved me several times from a back and rib injurys from a bad crash, and it is very confortable, warm, and great quality.,Like the rest I will not ride without it MADDOGWFO

I wear the Klim tekvest. I believe it is a freestyle with more venting. I don't ride without it! Saved me some pain today when i got thrown off and did three somersaults before coming to rest in our gay arse midwestern snow.

yep, and it works as a great layer under your jacket as well

spend the money and buy the klim tekvest. Get it one size smaller than you think though. the other good thing is its warm and you can use it as a layer. for two seasons i have worn, coldgear under armor, tek vest, klim valdez parka everyday.
I will not ride without it. Id pick it over my helmet!

The thor impact rig or 661 pressure suits work good too. And they're cheaper

I just got one this year. Got it from www.outdoorsupplyonline.com
I have not ridden with it yet, but just trying it on. I was surprised it was not bulky or resritive at all.

My only complaint is that it needs some more shoulder padding with my bony shoulders and my pack. It came in handy yesterday when I hit an unseen drift.
I have a Klim one as well and don't ride without it but, my son is riding now and I have loaned it to him while he learns. Hopefully, I won't need it while he is wearing my tek vest. Yes, I will get another one sometime.

klim tek vest, never ride without it....
Cracked a rib in a meeting with the handlebars in 2004; feel naked without my Tekvest on now.
C
Cracked 2 ribs and separated a sternum hitting the handle bars one time. It took 6-9 months before I could sneeze without crying. I wear my tek-vest every time, and know it has saved me more than once from a pain full experience. You'll still get the wind knocked out of you but it distributes the impact over a greater area, plus as others have said its warm.
