Icon Field Armor Vest

Reviewed By Josh from Coral springs, FL
Pros: Those foam pads that are included with most jackets are no comparison to this armor. Wear this under your jacket and remove the back pad because you are no longer going to need it. Flexible so it bends as you do. Someone once described this product to me as making you look like a turtle. I'd much rather look like a turtle than have a spine injury! Great protection at a reasonable price.

Cons: Makes you sweat more when it's hot out due to contact, but certainly worth it for the safety factor

Icon Field Armor Vest Reviewed By Jake from MD
Pros: Feels fairly comfortable, light weight, not very noticible while riding. Offers moderate protection against falls. Doesnt cost 250 bucks like the spidi defendor armor.

Cons: Fit is not perfect. The thickness of the plastic armoring seems sufficient to protect against any abrasion you can throw at it, however the padding does not appear to be thick enough to effectively absorb higher energy impacts.

Additional Sizing Notes: I am 6' 3" and the larger size is a few inches short on my lower spine - it offers no tailbone protection at all. I am also fairly skinny, and I found that the side velcro straps are too long, it makes the vest fit a bit loose around the sides/ hip area. I plan on modifying the straps myself for a more snug fit.

Comments: All in all, not a bad product. Pricing is very competetive. Comfortable to wear all day. It doesnt provide as much protection as I would like, but it is certaintly better than nothing. I would reccomend it to friends.
