Verified Customer Reviews for Spidi Defender Back & Chest Protectors
Fantastic protection
06 August 2019 by Andrew G
Initial impressions of this item are great, it's clear that spidi have married up very good materials with excellent workmanship. From a comfort perspective the vest is comfy, with the protection soft to the touch preventing any digging in on the back and the chest.
Negatives, there are better products out there for the price and finally the shoulder harness could do with being adjustable to help take into account the chest/height mixed with different body types. My version it felt as though the shoulder straps were too close and I could feel them continuously on my neck (more annoying than anything).

Was expecting this to be uncomfortable and its not. I use this under all 3 of my tops and have had no issues with the fit.

This a very good quality item, I thankfully haven't tested it in action yet but build and fit is great. I tried on a Knox track vest before deciding on this one and glad I waited for this.
