Verified Customer Reviews for Forcefield Elite Chest Protector
I have body armour everywhere else so only wanted chest armour with harness to complete the set, good search the Forcefield Elite, looked rather bulky but I went with it, delivery was very quick too.
First ride out on my adventure bike with the extra armour was in 30 deg C heat which I thought would have been very uncomfortable but not at all, accepting my jacket is well vented the armour still let air through and proved surprisingly very comfy and very well made. Extreme first test but definitely recommend, the extra security is very welcome with no noticeable down side.
I haven't yet tested it's protective capabilities (and frankly speaking - hope I won't have to) but it is very comfortable and moulds nicely to the shape of the body. Quite a positive surprise.
Obviously sturdy and probable suitable for bow and arrow practice, however, it doesn't wick-away the coldness from a cotton base layer undergarment but just exacerbates the lower temperatures.
Really impressed with this chest protector, nice and flexible, moulds to the user nicely. Barely notice it's on compared to some other brands.
I did remove the straps though, and it is nice and snug and doesn't move.
Very flexible chest piece with removable straps. I wear it without them. Only drawback is it's not CE level 2 and forcefield don't make a level 2 chest protector.
I have been wearing this for one month now and it feels really comfoortable and sturdy under my various jackets so much so that I don't think I will ever go for a ride without it such is the sense of safety it gives me..It feels like it will offer good protection in the event of anything going wrong,hopefully I'll never find out,my only issue is having to fiddle around with the straps when putting it on ,they could definitely be improved upon .....
This is a very good chest protector, sizing is correct, small to medium size fits great, I have a 42 inch chest, when protector is on, it feels comfortable and you forget your wearing it. Also delivered on time,5 star service as always from sportsbikeshop.
Recently, I had a motorcycle accident. My clothing had all the usual armour, except chest protection. I was thrown onto the road chest first and subsequently broke a rib and had a very sore chest. Many bikers, myself included, do not really consider protecting this area. I have now rectified this. The Forcefield Elite Chest Protector is slim and fits easily under my various jackets and my one piece leathers. It moulds itself to my body shape and is very comfortable to wear. I now feel that I have done my utmost to minimise future chest injury and feel all the better for that.
Top piece of kit. Not only does it protect my ribcage, it also protects my Sternum! It's thin and fits under my leathers comfortably, and as it becomes warm, moulds to my chest shape! Well made and very durable. Brilliant!
Fits well. Have yet to give it a road test, but sure it will stand the test.
Absolutely brilliant service and price. Wont buy anywhere else from now on.
Having suffer chest injuries from another sporting accident I wanted something substantial, but comfortable and easy to put on. This is great. It vents really well. Once warmed up a bit moulds better around chest. To me it as essential as all the other protection. A should or rather must have.
Feels very comfortable, moulds perfectly and is lightweight. I feel better having it on, but have only rated 4 stars because I have yet to test it's safety. (Hope I don't have to).
As with other Forcefield products, I found the stitching to be less than satisfying. Apart from that, good product. Takes the shape of your body once warmed up by body heat.
Great fit and you hardly know you have it on. It stays cool due to the honeycomb construction.
I wear this with a Forcefield backprotector under my jacket and hardly notice it is there. It feels like excellent quality just as the back protector is, and molds itself well to my body. Love it! Despite my jacket being fairly tight fitting this fits nicely underneath. Don't bother looking at any other - just get this and you won't be disappointed.
Comfortable even when wearing all day. Like all bikers you never wish to test out it's effectiveness. I am sure that if called upon it will do the job it's designed for. Once worn you feel vulnerable without.
I bought this item after shopping around and doing some research. It fits well and doesn't feel at all cumbersome underneath a jacket. Fortunately I haven't had the need for it's protection qualities but it certainly adds to the feeling of being secure.
