Excellent product - hope I never test it!
Added the Race Lite chest protector to the Pro L2K back protector I already had to complete the ensemble. Construction is similar to the back protector, flows air just as well, and, most important, molds to your chest shape - you don't notice it after a few minutes riding. Fortunately, both protectors fit perfectly under my race leathers without adding excess bulk. (I am a size 42 chest and purchased the Medium protector.) Very pleased with the quality and fit & finish of Forcefield products - highly recommended.

It is what it claims
Outstanding protection at a very reasonable price. I will always buy and use Forcefield back and chest protectors.

Fits well
True to size from the Forcefield Sizing chart. Bought for track use and fits well under race leathers. Tight fit but with the right sized suit it will work.

Comfortable and Sleek
As with other Forcefield products, the chest armor is very comfortable and molds to the body quiet fast. I can not comment about the protection for I have not crashed in it, but it seems that Forcefield is the leader in armour according to the ce tests. The only complaint is that it no longer comes with the harness as mentioned, so if you occasionally like to ride without stand alone back armour you need to purchase it. Also I wish the coverage was a bit more of the sides of the ribcage. As for sizing, I wear size 44 euro and choose the medium, which seems to fit well in terms of height.

Very good protector
This feels like a very good protector. My only real complaint is that there could be a bit more coverage, and in retrospect I probably would have gotten a medium rather than a small (I'm a 34" chest for reference). The coverage from side to side is fine, but I wish there was about an inch or so more coverage from top to bottom.
Other than that I feel very protected. Rather than using the strap, I've just glued some velcro into my jacket and stick it on there so that I don't have to fuss with strapping it on.

Impressed
For starters, the chest protector I ordered came with two straps. I read another review on here that the protector only comes with one strap now. Maybe Forcefield heard the complaint and corrected the problem. Anyway, there is one strap that wraps around from side to side across my back, two shoulder straps come off of the wrap around strap, come up over the shoulders and also attach to the velcro on the chest plate like the wrap around strap. The plate is the same slightly viscous conforming dense rubber as is in the shorts and sub 4 back protector. It conforms to my body in less than a minute, feels light, and seems to breathe. I haven't ridden with the chest protector yet, but have worn it about the house. I'm waiting for my leathers. I did try moving about with the protector on, and none of my motions were restricted. I have a 43" (maybe 44.5", I forget) chest and the large fit me perfectly, I'm 6'0" 190#. Hope I never test this thing out, but expect it to help if I do.

A WOMAN'S REVIEW
I used this chest protector with the Pro L2 Kevlar Back protector for a track day under a perforated leather jacket and leather track pants. I did not crash so I can't talk about protection, but I can say that the chest protector was completely unnoticeable under my jacket. As a female, I do not have a flat chest and I was worried this would not fit. However, it fit great! I could not even tell I was wearing it and I highly recommend all riders consider getting one of these. I bought a size Medium and I am 5'7" 140 pounds.
