Interesting how MEC has changed it's colours... Back in the late 80's MTB's were viewed as environmental terrorists by MEC. Even when I worked for MEC in the mid 90's, and we sold MTB accessories, the old school guys there still frowned on it.

Where is Dave now?

I think the newer Leatt's have that feature. Isn't that what the Thoracic Strut does?

Did you warrantee them? I had zero problems getting new ones.
