Forcefield EX-K Hardness Adventure Protector

After trying M sized, I ordered S size. It fits well but there is a problem. Armor pieces are the same size as the other sizes. Only difference is the length of the straps. Because of that small size feels a bit clunky. Mind you, straps fit me pretty well which indicates this is the right size for me. Elbow pieces are so long, it hits my gloves. I will try to find a separate elbow protector. Back piece is also a bit too long (same size as the M one) and it is not possible to move it up/down without moving the chest piece in the same direction. Still, when I put it on it feels really nice. Base layer is a must. Straps are very high quality but they still hurt a bit. Inside material of the harness is very nice. When you put it on first time you don't feel hot immediately. It takes a while. But once it gets hot, it stays hot. There just isn't enough airflow. IMO not suitable for hot weather riding at all.

Unfortunately I had to return mine because its arm pieces were wrong size. I will buy again though. Both forcefield and fc-moto were helpful regarding the issue. I didn't have a chance to ride with mine. But I can say protection and coverage is seemingly very good. Although it is heavy, it feels comfortable once you wear it. It is thick though. I could fit it (M sized harness) under my S sized winter jacket by removing its thick thermal lining. It barely fit under my M sized Sidi summer jacket, not practical. I'm talking about body pieces btw, arm pieces wouldn't fit at all. You should consider sizing up your gear if you want to use this. This is the main downside of this product imo. It may not seem so but it is actually quick to put on and off. I think if you wear S and M, you should consider buying size S. Harness can be adjusted but if it is loose there isn't enough adjustment to make it fit tight.

Felt great and comfortable, elbow pads tended to move off a bit. Had one fall resulting in a broken collarbone and three broken ribs. It appears the pads are quite stiff, and either it was simply bad luck or the edge of the pads pushed into the ribcage. I do like the back protector though.

Adaptable design and very comfortable. Fits very well under my textile jacket (Revit Offtrack jacket XL). I have ridden from 4 degree c to 30 degree c. It keeps your chest and waist warm in the cold but gets hot in the 30s which is to be expected. Elbows and shoulders stay cool. I have not yet had a high impact crash so unable to comment on protection, however it feels very solid and stable on the body from low impact falls (10 - 15km).
