Most comfortable Vest

[CO 2.0]

Looking for the most comfortable vest out these while still protecting the vitals, like the lower back, kidneys, and lower stomach which a lot of vests miss. I currently use a 661 vest and have been pretty happy with it. It does though fall a little short of the L5 where I broke my back. I bought one of those new EVS SV1 Trail protective snow vests last week. Needless to say it's going back quickly. It looked comfortable from pics but it's the total opposite in real life. Also does not come down far enough on my spine. No kidney or lower stomach protection either.

I'm wearing the Troy Lee one that is basically a padded shirt. Stretchy nylon shirt with a ton of pockets that pads fit in. Fits very long. Over that I have my Snow Pulse Avy vest. The avy vest has armor pockets in the chest and shoulders. The combo is awesome protection. The Troy Lee vest actually gives better air circulation with the avy vest than not wearing it. All the pads have small gaps where air can circulate. BTW, the Snow Pulse vest FEELS heavy when I carry it out to the truck. But while wearing it feels light. Vests distribute the load better than packs. And protect your chest. And carry stuff like my Rino very well.

Still just prefer my Tekvest. Bwear works well too.

the tekvest is good too but i like the back protection comes down nice & low on the bwear plus there is more impact protection too with better pads,but not quite as comfy as the tekvest.both are good though,just pm fbomb on here & he can tell you the technical diffs in the 2.

I like my EVS SV1R. It's the race vest version and it's really comfortable at least to me. Doesn't ride up and I still have all the side to side movement I want. I don't notice it when I'm riding... I took the arm pads off cuz I think those get annoying on any vest. Gets a little warm under the jacket but really not too bad. I'm happy with it.
