Great review! I got the TLD vest version of the TLD shirt you used to rock. It has a little less padding so under the ribs isn't protected and no shoulder padding. But it's pretty comfortable. Glad to see other riders taking safety seriously. ✌🏼🤟🏼

I know that this is 2 years old now but the timing is perfect for me. I want to buy a new chest/back protector for bmx racing and was thinking about the TLD 7850 that you had and reviewed before. However, I'm also looking at this very model and the TLD equivalent, the Rockfight CE flex which also has a D30 back pad. Decisions, decisions!! Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for the review. 👍

Looks a great bit of kit, and so very important as well. I have a TLD foam one, does the same job and protects 👍🏼⚡

Hi mate great review, I am about 165cm but I am not sure to go for an adult s/m or a youth size. I do want it to last but then I don’t want it to be too big

Would you recommend this when pedalling and wearing this next to skin?

padded chest padding is part of the vest. No need to buy it? I ordered it today based on this review

A guy in the store told me it is heating up a lot in the summer and soaks with water. What are your experiences with it? I’m not sure yet if I should buy it with or without d30.
@trailsfromthedarkside64602 жыл бұрын
Hey there. Coming from the TLD shirt, l find the Fox one much more comfortable, but any extra layers will make you sweat. I prefer the D30 for flexibility and once it heats up, l don’t notice it. I wear this every ride, sometimes l get hot, but at least l’m safe. Don’t think you’ll find a much airy-er vest.

Been looking at one of these for a while. How do u find it on long climbs like the golfie etc? I'm worried it could be way to hot
@trailsfromthedarkside64602 жыл бұрын
Its the best l’ve used. Super light. If you wear it outside the jersey its easy to take off if needed. Its really comfy as well. Hope that helps. 🤙🏴

So if under the jersey, does this go directly on the skin?
@trailsfromthedarkside64603 жыл бұрын
I normally wear a vest or compression shirt underneath. I think it would chafe direct on the skin. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching. 🤙🏴
