An ok vest,

Nearly a 5-star product. Could straightforwardly get there with a few tweaks. Detailed Review.,
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!http://xelementgear.com/p/Shop-Dirt bike-Vests/Xelement-Mens-Padded-Vest-with-Tri-Tex-Fabric-and-Mesh/51289.html
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:
(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.
