That is an older model Race Jacket. It is not armor; it's a motocross roost protector. Yes, they still make - no you don't want one. If you want something light, get a Defender.

That one on that site looks perfect, it has much more protect than the new race jacket.
So here are some I'm thinking of,
The one on the site if I can still find it, what year is it???
661 coresaver
661 06 racejacket
or maybe go all out an
d get the 661 assault suite

Core Saver would be a good choice. Pressure suits are not as cumbersome as you might think - - you get used to them quickly. You might try to find a last-year's model SP-1 Pressure Suit (Steve Peat version). It was lighter and a bit trimmed back from a full-on PS.

Just as an FYI - - I looked back in my catalogs and the one in the pict that you wanted to know about was an '05 Straight Jacket.

Back in my Motocross racing days I used some stuff like that made by EVS. Google EVS safety equipment & I bet you can view some cool gear.

Yeah again, JT faded away in the 90's & a couple years ago I happened to see a painball supplies catalog & there was all this JT stuff in there. Really surprised me.
