Under Jersey Chest pro

Edited Date/Time 3/14/2016 6:55am
What is the most used/ liked? I have my eyes on the TLD 5900 but I heard it's short, can anyone confirm this? I am close to 6 foot. What about the fox proframe? Thanks in advance.

I'm 6'2" and run the Pro Frame. Shoulder straps adjusted all the way out. Comfortable with the back on, and when it's hot, back plate removed

The TLD is very short up front...I'm 5'9" and it stopped about 2" short of my navel. There is 1 unit of adjustment available on the front but it is very much. I sent it back. The quality looks very good.
I'm looking for rib protection. 3 of my buddies have the Fox Raptor and all three have had issues with the shoulder fasteners coming apart.
I've got a Leatt 5.5 on order. It's offered in an XXL size. Hopefully the fitment will be to my liking.

I have the AXO one and also the Leatt 4.5. The leatt offers a little better side protection

I have been unable to find and under jersey protector to work properly with an Atlas neck brace. Do you guys wear a neck brace?

Just to echo what others have said, I had the TLD one and it was by far the most comfortable chest protector I've ever worn. At 6'2", however, it looked like I had stolen it from a little kid. I wore it a few times but ultimately felt like I needed more protection past where the TLD model stopped.

If they ever make it in an actual adult length, I'll buy it for sure.

Get the fox pro frame. I'm 6'3" and 210 lbs and it fits nicely. The Troy lee protector is great in terms of protection as well. They both work well with the neck brace. The pro frame can go over the jersey and still work well. The Leatt 5.5 is bulky and heavy

I think the 5.5 is way to bulky and all that elbow shoulder crap is just to much

The Troy lee BG 5900 is great. You can customize it so it's pretty versatile. The Leatt show is ok but a little short and stiff. Obviously it works well with the neck brace

Pro frame all the way. Works we'll under or over. Adjustable shoulders , I am 6.2 200 lbs and it works great. Have never tried it with a neck brace

The pro frame didn't work with my Atlas Air. The pads all hit in good spots on the chest protector, but my brace was too small to fit over it normally, even with the back pads on the larger setting. If I had a bigger Atlas brace, it probably would've worked but I wasn't about to buy another one.

I just used a Fox Titan Sport under protector instead.
