Back protector is a must. Chest protector would be a great benefit as well.

Yup, I use a KNOX chest protector in addition to my other gear.

STT is really ramping up chest protector advice. I bet they require it soon.

I'm looking to buy one this season. Maybe a Bohn.

What exactly does a chest protector do? Hypothetically I would think that a persons arms would be covering their chest anyway.

only if they've got the presence of mind to pull their arms in.... not everyone does... especially people who aren't used to going down.
