Reviews
Pros: Overall decent protection, superior back protection, easy to put on.
Cons: kidney belt is a bit tight, lack of loops for the thumb to make sure the forearm armor doesn't move.
Recommendation: Good value for what your getting. This armor does a good job and keeping you out of the emergency ward. With all armor though, there are limits. Most armor will protect you from most things but like this one, lack of clavicle protection is a weak spot. Great overall protection though for those who are into FR and DH..
