I’m 5’2” y’all and I’m looking at an Alpinestars A1 but I believe it will hang to low, any ideas on a quality under jersey chest protector with back protection as well. Thank everyone in advance for your time.

I used to run a Thor’s previous version of this under my jersey. I was about 5’5” when I started running it. Fit perfect.

I'm 5'3 and adult chest protectors are too long for my back.

I like the Fly Junior Lite Youth Roost Guard (L/XL) that was made by Leatt. They don't make it anymore, but it looks like it might be available on a couple closeout sites. [[The website says the L/XL is for chest circumference 28-31 inches and riders 4'9"-5'1" tall but the label/booklet that came with mine said it was for up to 5'3".]]

Leatt youth 4.5 chest protector looks like the same chest protector...so it should fit the same way.

(I don't wear it under my jersey though because of how I tuck my neck brace into the back portion of the chest pro.)
