    Don’t be fooled by the product picture of this vest. The vest is not shape like pictured. In reality it is shaped more like a life vest than a bulletproof vest. The padding on the vest is not very thick. It is thick enough to protect your chest and back from road rash but not thick/hard enough for high impact protection. Like the other reviewer I found the ordinary to be too huge. The side straps are also useless because when you adjust them tight to your waist the Velcro has no place to grip. This is a cheap alternative to protect the chest and back from road rash. But, I should have spent a few more dollars on something with surpass impact protection.

    Nearly a 5-star product. Could straightforwardly get there with a few tweaks. Detailed Review., November 9, 2014

    This review is from: Xelement Mens Padded Vest with Tri-Tex Fabric and Mesh – 2X-Generous
    This jacket was useful as I was looking for something to complete a “Dredd” outfit for Halloween and comic-con. I see how some people talk about it not being the best for riding. I have done enough riding to judge the product (pun certainly proposed), so I wanted to place a detailed review here for others looking into it.

    Function Level: Ordinary. – It is not “armored” like you would reckon. The “armor” is a light padding (a hard foam-like padding). The material seems like it will keep you warm enough but protection level is low.

    Comfort Level: High. – I was very comfortable in this vest. It fit snug, but didn’t feel like it was going to make me pop. There is a small play in the waist area but not much. I would pay attention to your build. This vest is all about being proportionate. I am 6’3″ and 275LBS, but my stomach and chest are even, unlike many guys at my weight level. I could see this vest not fitting guys that hold most of their weight in their stomach, no matter what your height/weight is.

    Customization Level: Limited. – This vest currently only comes in black with a bright yellow trim. It blends well enough together to look excellent, and I know the designers were thinking about rider protection when building this vest, but it needs more options.

    SIZING: I know most people are having difficulty with this, because they didn’t list a chart on amazon. I nearly ordered the incorrect size myself. I usually wear an XL, or an XL-Tall if it is available. Don’t worry because I found a sizing chart for this vest and am pleased to share it with you all! I finished up ordering a 2XL and am very pleased that I did. You need to google search the Xelement’s website. Their sizing chart is listed there and will make sure you get the right vest every time!
    EX: On most sizing charts, my size would be listed XL, but on the Xelement chart, the exact same measurements fall under the 2XL category. If you can’t find it, just size up; unless you carry very low body-stout percentage.
    CURRENT SIZING CHART WEBLINK: http://xelementgear.com/p/Shop-Dirt bike-Vests/Xelement-Mens-Padded-Vest-with-Tri-Tex-Fabric-and-Mesh/51289.html
    (Sizing Chart at the bottom of the page.)

    OVERALL: It is a fantastic vest that is comfortable to wear and looks cool. It needs to have more customization features (I’d certainly order another with a red trim or all black) and to be armored surpass for those that ride all the time. If Xelement could make these minor improvements, they’d be a 5-star producer in no time.

    This review is from: Xelement Mens Padded Vest with Tri-Tex Fabric and Mesh – Generous
    i was skeptical at first since majority of the negative reviews were about sizing but i ordered it anyway on size generous, i’m 67 inches about 197 lbs. it came in well within the expected delivery date. box was very light so i got a small nervous, but all is well when i opened it. item looks excellent, very light and comfortable, exact for california summer weather. had a few compliments on the first day i wore it. bought it mainly to wear riding my dirt bike but will certainly wear it on my next paintball game. fantastic price, excellent quality, exceptional vendor.

    thank you / jay
