Forcefield chest protector

Forcefield chest protector

I've got a few forcefield products, pro sub 4 back protector, and the leg tubes, and i've been considering a chest protector for some time now, so obviously if i was going to

buy one it would be by forcefield, i think their body armour is the best around.

Anyway, it arrived a few days ago and i just thought i'd give some first impressions.

pro

- very light weight

- works with the pro sub 4 back protector as it comes with some velcro straps that work in conjunction with the pro sub 4 (if you don't have a forcefield back protector then you have to purchase a separate harness to use the chest protector)

- very comfortable, and after your body heat has managed to warm up the chest protector it moulds itself to you for a perfect fit.

- keeps you nice and warm (probably won't be a good thing next summer... but we hardly get summers here in the UK so no big deal)

con

- bit of a fiddle to get set up right, bit too much velcro for my liking, but once strapped in everything is ok.

- probably be a bit too warm in the summer

overall, i think this is something that will become part of my normal every day riding gear from now on, much like the pro sub 4 did a couple of years back.
