I am getting a chest protector this week. Help me choose the one to buy. I have been looking at the Icon Field armor vest. I tried to post a pic but didnt know how. they have it at New enough for 100.00. Does anyone else wear chest protectors and what kind do you have. Please make some suggestions. I need to get this done early this week.

Thanks, Tim

comfortable...has velco adjustment band on the side.

See on the pic Rub posted where the white arrow looking things on the side...they adjust.

If your jacket has a back protector in it...you will prolly need to take it out to fit over the ICON's back protector.

I have a Knox that is coordinated with my back protector. I think you have seen it a few times. The back protector I wear is the "race" style which is a little longer down the back than the "street" version.
