So far im am leaning heavily on the troy lee designs chest protector #5955. but if anyone else knows of any chest protectors with an amazing fit i am open to try new things.

thor sentinel. imo the best looking one out ever. light but strong. doesn't get in the way of helmet and easily adjust's. i've had other brands but this is the only one i'll ever buy again and again and recomend.

Agree with everything but the strong part. My first crash with it I cracked the front plate and buckle. Also, every person I know who has one, the shoulder pieces separate from the padding.

That is what i ran for a little while and it fit great but the upper body protection for me was lacking. I like having shoulder guards and the tld cp actually fits better than the sentinel to me. I like how light the thor is though:/

there are ones out that protect better and have thicker protection and more protection. i like it because for the most part it will do what it needs to do and you hardly notice your are wearing it imo. i don't like to feel as if i'm in full body armor like some set up's.

I've worn a 661 for 3 years and they only nice thing about it is the ventilation. I am looking at Thor Sentinal or the Fly Pivotal Roost for next year.

I liked my sentinel but after one crash destroyed it I stopped wearing them all together.

Troy lee, we have been wearing their stuff for years, and they fit well, and last a long time.

Fox proframe hands down. Has adjustable straps so you can put any neck brace on underneath it and fits very comfortably. Very thick protection with very comfy padding.
