Good idea that doesn't go far enough
Rating:
The Good
not bulky or hot
The Bad
not that great of protection
Overall Review:

This sub gear shirt does a good job of adding a little extra protection, mostly for the shoulders, without getting too hot or cumbersome.

Notes about the fit:while it does loosen up over time the fit out of the box is rather tight.  I guess that's just part of how compression gear works and how protection in general fits, but it takes a little getting used to if you are accustomed to riding in a loose t-shirt or jersey.

I really like the idea of having some protection for the chest and shoulders that fits nicely under a jersey and that doesn't restrict movement but I hope that future iterations of this product will take the next step and offer a bit more protection (slightly thicker padding) plus add sections for the lower chest and ribs while still keeping a slim package to tuck under your regular riding jersey.

Mostly useless armor, only good for some shoulder abrasion resistance
Rating:
The Good
Highly breathable, lightweight
The Bad
Poor protection, hard to take off, sizing a bit off, chest compression kind of makes cardio harder by restricting heavy breathing
Overall Review:
Seems like something you wear under a jersey, rather than alone. When alone, the wind hits the sweat and makes it extra chilly, which is annoying if you stop at all and it's windy, especially past sunset. It doesn't look all that good anyways. What I wanted was some chest protection for insurance on over the bar crashes and some shoulder protection to take some sting out of shoulder rolls. It does the shoulder roll decently, but the chest protection is mostly useless and placed too high.

I recommend something like the TLD 7850 instead.
