BenKen Men's Women's Professional Anti-Collision Sports Shirts, Protection of The Back, Motorcycle Protective Jacket for Skateboarding Skating Snowboarding Cycling

Use it for snowboarding last week. Worked great. Definitely helped during impact.

The fit was right. And it well made and it seems like it's going to last.

You will get sweaty. Comfortable.

I bought this for snowboarding because the pictures showed what appeared to be D30 material (the orange pad) in the shoulder area. D30 foam is relatively soft and flexible, made of free flowing molecules. On impact, the molecules instantly lock together and become hard, providing excellent impact protection. After I received this jacket, I removed the shoulder protection pieces to see if it was really D30. There is no embossed D30 stamp on the orange pieces that I’ve seen on genuine D30, so I don’t know if it’s real or a knockoff material. The back protection is excellent, with half inch thick high density hard foam. The segmented arrangement of the foam pieces allows it to flex freely. There is a very thin 1/8 inch soft foam piece sewn into the inside that goes against your back. One negative feature of the back protection is that it is extremely long. If you wear the matching BenKen butt pads or any other butt pads, the back protection will overlap the butt pads. The back section on my jacket is 27 inches long. The shoulder and elbow protection are good, although as I stated, the orange pieces may not be genuine D30. Also, the elbow pads sometimes rotate around your arm to the side of your elbow. Requires frequent adjustment. The weakest part of this jacket is in the rib and chest. Those pieces are quarter inch soft foam which provide minimal protection. Also, the jacket zipper is a small female style left handed zipper with the parts on the opposite side of regular men’s clothing. I have a 33 in waist, athletic build, and about 5’10” tall. Based on my past experience with Asian sizing, I got the XL and it fits perfectly. Normally I’m between a medium and large in US sized clothing. I have been using the Troy Lee Designs 7855 Upper Body Protection for the last four or five years with great results. Never once had a crash that I couldn’t just walk away from like nothing happened. It costs three times what the BenKen jacket costs, but the protection is excellent all the way around with every part of your upper body covered. Its weakness is in the shoulder, which is why I bought the BenKen. More than likely, I’ll stick with the Troy Lee though. I need the full upper body protection for snowboarding park features. I would recommend this if you are mainly interested in back, shoulder, and elbow protection. The chest/rib protection is poor, and the jacket is an awkward fit with butt pads.

Love this one. It fits perfectly. After reading reviews I went with a smaller size. I’m 5’4 170 and kinda muscular especially in my shoulders and the small fit like I wanted it to. Nice and tight to fit under a long sleeve and/or a hoodie. It’s not so tight as to cut off circulation I normally wear a medium shift (they are kinda tight) and this fit just right. By the size chart I should have gotten a large… so I’d go down a size or 2

I purchased this for a friend. It seemed to be a nicely made body armor for learning snowboarding/skiing. I really wanted to like this since it was supposed be a gift. However, the size of the body armor doesn't match the description of the size chart. It's way too bulky and loose. Also, the protection of the neck area is way too long, protruding upwards, and blocking helmet movement, so you can't turn your head easily with helmet on. If you don't plan to move at all, then you might be fine. My friend hated it. So I had to return it.

This is a great piece of protection. Bought for motorcycle. I had read some complaints about the zipper and time will tell on that but so far so good. Also, about pads not staying in place- I am not having that issue. Im thinking it might be a sizing issue because if it fits right there’s no place for the pads to shift to.. they’re literally sewn in place. I’m 6’2 190 and an xl is perfect. Back armor is excellent. Elbow and shoulders also pretty dang good, especially considering the mobility it still allows for. Very good mobility as opposed to others I’ve tried. It’s almost as if you’re just wearing a heavy duty base layer. The rib and chest protection is soft. You can feel it just pressing a finger to the thin padding. My guess would be since the majority of cycling wrecks are elbow/shoulder and back impacts they focused mainly on those areas. I myself wasn’t concerned with this since my motorcycle jacket provides protection for those areas. This for me was a nice upgrade and I feel considerably safer on the road. Very pleased with product and wouldn’t change much even if I had a say.

Excelente producto tal cual como la publicación

je met 4 étoile: bonne réception du produit rapidement, la qualité et bien présente mais quand vous porter le produit c'est pas si léger et plutôt imposent a testé sur des activité voir si la tenue ne dérange pas pour les mouvement

Superb protection and support for the back, as well as shoulder and elbow padding. Little padding for the chest though. Seems well made. Have worn it several times now. Tight to zip up but comfortable when on. Have worn it several times for general body protection rather than winter sports. Worn under a puffa jacket to give a bulked out appearance.

I bought the full sleeve version of the BenKen for skiing after a bad accident 3 years ago and I am very pleased with it. It is lightweight, good padding to shoulders, elbows and a back protector. There is additional foam padding to the chest and kidney area, which could be a bit thicker. It has a sturdy zip and belt. My only real criticism is that it is a bit difficult to keep the shoulder pads in the correct position when you move a lot, but overall great value and gives me good protection.

Die Schutzausrüstung sitzt mir gut und ist auch gut verarbeitet. Und preislich ist sie im allgemeinen Vergleich auch günstig.

Excellent item, lightweight and comfortable. Will be ideal for trail riding in summer with jersey over top.
