Shirt is ideal to provide some protection in warmer conditions, worn with a thin layer under (but could have chosen not to) plus an over-shirt . Having bounced/slid out quite a few times on a tough day at a bike park recently that pushed my levels can confirm it did exactly what was needed :-)

For me it was a toss up between this and the rockfight. I chose this because it feels like you're better protected. This one has hard foam padding wrapping around your entire torso, and after breaking a rib recently, thats what I felt I needed. The rock Fight which is priced about the same, has you protected on your back and chest, but nothing around the sides leaving your ribs very exposed. Another big plus is wearing this gives me much more confidence to send. Haven't had a crash in it yet, but I've no doubt I'm better off wearing this than not. The downside to this piece is that its difficult to get on and off. You can pay more money and get one with a zip if you choose to do so though, and I think I'll do that when this one gets worn out. You have to be careful when removing as I think it'll rip if you pull to hard.

After suffering 2 crashes this year both resulting in broken ribs I reviewed my existing armoured vests and realised neither of them provided protection beyond chest back and shoulders. So I decided to try the TLD 7850 which has pads all around the torso. I have not crashed since to see how good the protection is so can only comment on comfort and fit. I wear it over Under Armour base layer and at 40 inch chest 36 inch waist went for size large. It is a little loose on the chest but snug on the waist which is fine and makes it easy to put on and take off. It is winter so cannot tell if it is too hot in much warmer temperatures but it did not add much heat to my winter layering of base layer, armour vest, Jersey and soft shell so seems about the same as others I use. Biketart delivered an excellent price and delivery etc as usual
