Review on ๐Ÿ‘• Troy Lee Designs 7855 Heavyweight Long-Sleeve Protection Shirt: The Ultimate Solid Black Gear for Optimal Safety by Nhyiraba Wilson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Bought for mountain biking and aggressive snowboarding

I use this item for both summer mountain biking and winter snowboarding. I've hit the western slopes more than 30 times this winter on a wide range of terrain (and lots of tree trails) and have worn this protective shirt (I call it armor) almost every time. First, I'm 6'0", 175 pounds, and bought a size Large. It fits nicely under my ski jacket. Chin. But wearing "armor" can't be totally comfortable. I have no issues with the rest of the overlays. Including heavily padded hands. Shirt has overlays on all sides including back and back. When snowboarding, elbow and forearm pads might make the most sense, and some other pads might be "overkill" but they'll pay off in more serious and less likely accidents (either Collisions with other skiers, sharp unexpected falls (especially on ice) - after catching a collision with a ledge and/or tree I clipped a tree in a clearing in Crested Butte and was HAPPY to wear this shirt. The tree hit my thigh and chest and I think the shirt protected my ribs well as I broke them from that hit Hips). ful (if you've ever been thrown off a bike). I'm 44 years old and I hope to be able to cycle and snowboard a lot for a long time to come. This shirt has helped me and will continue to help me stay safe. I highly recommend it. If you're accident prone and/or just want to know you're safer, this is a good investment (much cheaper than going to the ER).
