Alpinestars A-8 Protection Vest 4.7 5 3 3
Ultra customize able fit I am a large fellow so I ordered the largest size available as an alternative to a textile jacket that I bought that felt flimsy. Since I ride mostly dirt and have a multitude of jackets that offer as much or more abrasion resistance then that textile jacket seemed to offer this seemed like a good choice and it also has back and chest protector which the jacket did not and its cheaper! So about the fit when I got it it fit, barely, and I knew it would be uncomfortable to ride in but after looking at the manual I saw that there are adjustable straps everywhere on this thing and its not just Velcro adjustments this is real hardware after a few turns of the screw driver this armor was fully customized to me and felt great tried it under a few jackets and stays in place with allot of movement. My only grip is that if you were to wear this over something the shoulder pads have a tendency to flap in the wind and might not stay put in an off could do with bicep straps to hold em down.

great protector - great quality great protector - great quality. Bit pricy but good quality product November 15, 2012
Best chest protector on the market for off road motorcycling. Great protection for the rider's chest, back, and sides. I would like to have more air flow for cooling and some reflective features for night safety. It's a well made product that should last for a long time. November 12, 2012

Does this fit well with a Leatt brace? Has anyone tried or seen someone wearing the two together?

Answer: 
The Alpinestars A-8 Protection Vest has not been released yet. For that reason, we are not able to verify if it will be compatible with a Leatt neck brace. Theoretically it should be, but we would suggest you to wait until the Alpinestars A-8 Protection Vest is released to get a final and sure answer to that question.

Answer: 
I have both. They fit reasonably well together. I found it works best if you tuck the neckbrace inside of the protector at the back, and sit on top of the protector at the front
