My Dad four weeks ago had a pacemaker fitted. In on a Tuesday and out on the Thursday .. good on the NHS 🙂

However, he's back riding and first time off road the other day. The issue is that the "Magnetic Tree Syndrome" has struck.

I was wondering (before making) if there is or if anyone knows of pacemaker protectors out there.

Something like a Dirty Harry Shoulder rig 🙂

Any thoughts.

Knox make chest protectors but I don't think they have integrated straps, you'd probably have to rig something (they're designed to attach to the straps of a back protector)

There are plenty of front-only chest protectors out there for motocrossers. Something like this might fit the bill:
