I am a guy, 20 years old, about 180cm tall, my chest circumference is 86 to 93cm on a full breath out and in respectively. Until now I was using a 661 evo (now discontinued) compression jacket (img 3) in a size small from ~5 years ago that has obviously stretched.
I was considering either of the Leatt stuff in img1 and 2 but for height I am between L and XL while on width I am on a small.
I contacted Leatt and the recommended going with a plastic/whateveryoucallthat chest and back protector (img 4) that is more adjustable but those usually don't have shoulders, from what I hear are not as comfortable and I also don't like the look of wearing one of those.
I would like some ideas on what to do here, I also have the option to trim the shirt type protectors at a sewing store if that would help
Thanks a lot

Order two sizes . Keep the one that fits best and return the one that doesnt…
Those full suits are really hot. Get the short sleeve version (with shoulders) and buy the elbow pads separate. More likely to fit you this way at too.
Also buy numerous ones, try them on, and return. No other way to know.
The over the shirt vests are definitely more comfy and less hot than the suits. You can un-buckle them on the lift to get air flow. Leatt does make versions of these w shoulders as well.
The whatever you call that is not really plastic, it’s the same stuff that’s in the other two. If you don’t like the look, wear it under your jersey.
