We at PERRINI like to think it's us. The market's full of various types of back protectors. Some are pretty damn nice. But they all share a common theme...roadracing. Perrini doesn'd do roadracing---not that there's anything wrong with it---we just prefer the streets to get our swerve on. But we do like our backs,and our chests for that matter. Which is where the Field Armor comes in. We took all the protection that your average back protector provides,increased it two---fold and threw in some PERRINI style. The result is true upper torso protection for the urban environment. Try it on,check out the low---profile fit and the innate feeling of protection,and ask yourself again ... Who's got your back?
I'll start with the small little cons first.This first one is petty. The item in the picture appears to be almost darkish green with a brownish mesh undershirt. The whole item is black. Now all my ridding gear is black anyway so I actually preferred this option better, so in a way this was a pro for me! But may not be for someone else.Second, I bought the medium size (5'10, 150 lbs). All of the padding is fitted exactly where it should be (shoulders, elbow/forearm) but the mesh in the arm pits seems to dig into that area. It's nothing painful but it is noticeable (not so much in my riding posture thought). I'm hoping it'll stretch though with time but no reason to disregard.Third, I don't know what I was expecting for $75 as far as the armor goes. For some reason I was thinking the armor would be textile. It's just hard plastic like you would buy for skateboarding knee pads/elbow pads. That being said, I was not extremely disappointed just merely "ahh ok not what I was expecting" but again for $75 what can you really expect?Now for the pros.I freaking love this thing. It looks sooo cool when I put it on. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about safety vs appearance but this thing looks BA. Even though above I talked about the hard plastic being something I was slightly disappointed about I still feel that it will hold up if and ever I would need it too. Also, not pictured, are shoulder/clavicle straps that attach mid scapula and wrap around front and connect at the top of the breast plating (I think you can kind of see the bolts on the picture). This is removable as well, nice feature.Extremely light weight. It doesn't even really feel like you have it on. I originally was going to cut the mesh sleeves off so my arms would be bare, but after riding with it I've changed my mind. It breathes extremely well.Overall I'm very happy with my purchase. I cannot wait for more sunny weather here in Seattle to really start getting some use out of it. Would recommend to friends :)Apparently I have to fit 20 more words into this review for me to submit it....so ignore this section lol
