Comments: Good ball hockey coverage. A Bit of a wierd cut at the bottom that requires pants to sit a bit higher then they should, but I've got plenty of "natural" padding in the gut area. I would not want to face pucks with this product.
From: Miles, Ft. Collins, CO
Comments: I purchased this chest pad for inline hockey against some decent shooters. I immediately sent it back. Tour seems to have thought very little about protection for your arms. The typical square bi-fold pad for your inner elbow is lacking, leaving a one to two inch gap between the bicep and forearm pads, exposing the tendons to a hard shot. The flat elbow pad at the back floats in a pocket far too large for the pad. I would not trust the pad to be under my elbow when needed. The pad should have been stitched into a smaller pocket to keep it under the elbow. Never having actually played with the pad, I can only comment that other than the arm issues the pad seemed well made and designed. If you block many shots with your arms, look at other chest pads.

Comments: its great i play with people that could go pro and i feel nothing excellent freedom of movement it fits perfect and its not to hot or heavy
From: Joe, MA
Comments: pad is good for ball hockey, wouldn't recommend against puck. Very little padding on the arms and inner elbows leave you vulnerable to hard puck shots. It is very light, quick on/off, but offers minimal adjustments which is expected at this price. Even in a summer league the light weight keeps it from getting too hot under there.
From: Keith
Comments:I love this chest pad. Slap shots are nothing against this. I wouldn't use it for ice hockey but for any type of ball hockey it's great. 10 out of 10.
From: James
Comments:Great protection, very comfortable and perfect for ball hockey
From: Brownie, NJ
Comments:Have been using this model and the older model for the last four years playing ball hockey. Needed something substantial, but w/o the weight + bulk of my ice c/a. This fits the bill perfectly for ball hockey (def would not use for ice). I'm 5'9" 160, and M fits perfect. Very comfortable, easy to move in, and no rubbing/hot spots. Built-in elbow pads shift slightly sometimes, but other than that, it's perfect. Worth the price.
