Review on SCOYCO JK116 Men's Breathable Mesh Racing Vest - CE Armored Power Sports Gear Protection by Mike Steeg

Revainrating 4 out of 5

High Visibility, Many Pockets, Some Protection, Odd Size

This body armor from SCOYCO is ideal for extra visibility and extra pockets when riding. The "armor" consists of a back pad that covers most of the spine and two front pads that cover the left and right chest areas which I believe are meant to protect the ribs. The pads are 1/2" high density foam - I'm not sure what kind of protection they offer. I probably wouldn't use it for high speed driving, but for my low speed driving purposes (<30 mph) it's good enough. The material feels solid and all stitching and zippers work well. The neon yellow color ensures high visibility during the day, while the reflective strips improve visibility at night. The sheer number of pockets is also a plus but doesn't make you look cool at all. What bothers me the most is the unusual size. I wear medium sized shirts from most clothing brands - I ordered this a size XL and the vest is too short (barely reaching my waist). I wish it was maybe 2 inches longer, but at the same time it's too big (I'm about 160 pounds). However, size issue aside, I think this vest is great for riding an electric bike or scooter.
