My 2 cents ; I ordered this chest protector from Goalie Monkey. I got the chest and I also bought the V3 pants. I've only worn the chest protector once so far in a practice. I'm in mid season and I won't change pads till next season. I have to say I'm impressed with the unit.. Though for an XL it seems to fit me tight. I think its more then large enough but I'm used to a very free flowing Heaton 5. Its very protective. On par with my H5 when brand new. I did notice the arms are not adjustable. They are totally sewn into the unit. They are VERY long it seems. I'm 6'3" and I don't have the monkey arms to use this. I am thinking about bringing the chest protector to a shoe maker to have him cut 3" off each arm, Then put some eyelets in and use skate lace to make it adjustable. ( Still this isn't an expense I believe I should have in buying a new piece of equipment. ) Overall. I think this chest protector is great. I'm finicky with my chest protectors.. I always end up modifying them a bit. I might contact Vaughn to see if they will make the adjustments for me. I think someone at the factory forgot that arms on everyone are different and need that part of the pad to be adjustable.
