I couldn't find a source for them so I ordered directly from Zac Speed in AU. They are a great product!

I've got the larger SP3 and since I ordered from overseas I got one for my buddy too. They work really really well. The toolpack is a nice bonus. The only problem I've had is that the hydration mouthpiece leaked so I just replaced the bladder. I'm able to carry all of my tools, 3L of water, a camera, tow strap and GPS without any problem and the thing is comfortable and doesn't move around.
I used to have trouble wearing a chest protector with my camelbak overtop, it just wouldn't stay put and would cut off circulation to my arms or try to choke me out. Not anymore!

I got mine from Bike Bandit last year as well. They were way cheaper than anyone else.
I've got the SP3 and love it. The actual chest protector blows (IMO), the shoulder straps don't stay on/connected, but I love the pack with the spine protection, bladder, and tool wrap. So I use the back pack straps you get and wear a full compression suit.

They look nice, but I will keep my chest protector and Ogio flight vest. They are way to pricey!

Yeah, a bit pricey for sure. It's still on the specialty side, so my guess is that it's hard to produce enough units to get the cost down. I'm stil using my Zac Speed Exotec from a few years back. At least it's been durable for the money. I did lose a fastener, but a black ziptie solved the problem. If it can't be fixed with zip ties or duct tape, its broken. 
I'm sure I'll go with another when the one I have is beyond repair. It's just nice to have water, tools, supplies and gear all integrated with a protector. The straps that run from your hips to just under your arms (back to front) do a kick butt job even with 100oz of water & other from keeping the protector riding up. My Zac Speed loaded is on the heavy side, but once strapped on, I can't say that I notice it, even when pounding whoops or riding trail trash.
