I wish these were more afordable but thats a little out of my league. What kind of testing did you do to ensure that it works? I know nothing can fully protect a PM but I would like to know what kind of a hit it can handle.

This comes up fairly often here, I know I've mentioned your product to more than one person but couldn't remember the name. You might want to contact Blake (admin) about possibly being a site sponsor.

Hi again,
I can definitely understand your concern with pricing. However, what I can say is that this is a one time purchase of the paceguard. The only thing that needs to be replaced is the shirt and that is if you are a growing child. We have done computer simulation testing from an independent source, a manufacturer lab testing and real life simulation of a baseball traveling at 80 mph. All results were favorable. As a parent with a child with a pm, I fully understand your concerns. I truly have put my best effort into this product to make it afforable and effecient as possible. I hope this answers your questions but feel free to contact me if you have anyother questions or concerns. One of our goals for paceguard is to have a "unit" automatically given to you once discharged from the hospital or covered under insurance. It's a long long process but hopefully one day soon. Play for life!!

Bad hair days can be blamed on your device shorting out.

A pacemaker completely solved my problem. In fact, it was implanted just 7 weeks ago and I ran a race today, placed first in my age group.
