Hey everyone....just curious if anyone here has one of these, and what you think so far?

Any "crash testers" in SV land? (hopefully not, but if so, info?)

Regards
Darryl

Don't have the Sub 4, but I just picked up the regular Forcefield and I'm really liking it. It contours to your back and feels like it could take a pretty hard shot. Fits under my leathers easily and by my 3rd ride with it I've pretty much forgotten it's on. No crash test yet, but the padding is a lot thicker than it looks in the pictures.

I picked one up yesterday, 7/22. Its substantially thicker than the standard Forcefield and a good bit more rigid. I haven't had a chance to wear it with leathers yet. I am a bit concerned with the thickness and whether its going to fit under my suit without me having to lose 20 lbs.

The thickness doesn't bother me at all. I actually lost about 30 pounds since I sized my leathers, so a little "filler" wouldn't hurt my feelings, :).

One thing I'm curious about, is how well it fits for street type riding?

I am certain, being a TPro, that it will fit well under my leathers in tuck. I would like to wear it all the time though, and don't want it to "jam" against the seat when riding a bit more upright.

Also, how is the general "feel" of it?
