Sizing is off but looks like a solid piece of gear
Bought an XL as with all my gear and it was not just tight, but impossible to even close. I'm 6ft 220lbs. Now waiting for some 2xl to see if I will fit in that.
On the flip side, I would have been thrilled to keep it if it had been sized appropriately. It's really nicely built, CE level 2 chest and back armor, and what looks like a decent ventilation design. Hope I get to use it!

Great overall, sizing issues
I am 6'4", 220lbs. Not fat, not fit. 44 inch Chest. I ordered an 2XL based on the reviews here.
Everything fits great, its tight but not to the point of blowing up. Back protector fits exactly where it should.
The only thing that is a little off (for me) is the shoulder protectors seem an inch to far apart. but, overall not really an issue.
Is is defiantly a struggle to get the top clip connted by yours self.
Over all i like it, and ill be keeping this one. Its MILES ahead of the 6.5 from leatt

Love this vest
Great vest. Saved me breaking bones many times. Feels just like wearing a tight fitting sweatshirt. Great ventilation. Cool in heat.

Feel protected
Had a pretty bad lay down last September, still feeling it. Decided I wanted to step up the armour, this is pricey but comfortable and I’m definitely feeling more confident about having proper protection. I’m 5’ 10 185lbs. Fits tight and is maybe a tad on the small side, but just barely. I tried both the large and extra large and decided to stick with the large. It’s tight, but it’s supposed to be. I am happy with my purchase.

High quality armour option
I've worn this armour several times but thankfully have not crash tested it yet.
I've retired my old Thor armour and went with this based on reviews, price, features and reputation. All in all im happy with my purchase. I use this for dual sport/enduro moto.
Pros:
It flows air well, and fits me like a glove
It is comprehensive coverage and seems to be quality construction.
Back armour is more comfortable than others I've worn
Cons:
Careful on sizing: I'm 178cm and 185 pounds, athletic build. This fits very snug, As per other reviews some people may require sizing up.
Slightly limits shoulder movement, and the kidney belt migrates up a bit during ride but not too badly
Zipper seems a little frail, and may end up being the failure point.
Right elbow seems to bug my elbow with chafing if Im not careful about making sure everything is in the right spot before riding.

6'3" 230 reasonably fit and I can barely get this on with the zipper being under a lot of torque. Just a matter of time before that blows. Way too small. Also, elbow armor hard plastic, and frankly irritates my elbow after a couple of minutes.

Size up!
These fit small. I initially ordered the XL, which is my normal fit and in fact what I have for an older Alpinestars upper. Had to return it and get the 2XL. But it's good equipment, once you get the right size.
