POC Spine VPD 2.0 Jacket Black M Protectors

He recommends the product

A huge potential killed by the fact that there is no way to secure the monkey from arbitrarily moving up, thus losing its main advantage - comfort compared to plastic protectors.

Pros: Very good coverage of the spine and chest Comfortable elbow and shoulder protectors, one does not know about them at all, which is not a matter of course in monkeys Flexible properties of VPD - it does not restrict movement in any way

Cons: The monkey wants to move up at all costs, even the strap around the waist doesn't help, which by the way is attached only in the back part and helps only minimally, it lacks a strap around the chest like on other protectors. As the monkey moves up, the chest protector collides with the throat, which is very uncomfortable. Even the spine protector is not exempt from the problem of monkey displacement, and even if it is less noticeable than in the case of the chest protector, it collides with the cervical spine when the head is bent. Size M was still big on my chest with a chest circumference of 102 cm, the chest protector was completely loose. When I pulled the monkey down as far as possible, it fit fine (probably as the manufacturer intended), but a few hand movements (no need to lift) and the protector slides up, where the problems described above already arise.
