That $199 price was just too tempting, so I took the plunge and bought one yesterday. Got home today and it was sitting on my front porch. And I was thinking of driving the 1 hour each way to pick it up so I would have it by tomorrow night.
My first impressions mirror much of what has already been posted. Feels very light compared to my TPS XHale. The gut leaves too much room as I like it tight around my stomach. I will have the wife sew in some velcro so I can pull it tighter. I wasn't really concerned about the clavical exposure because I do use a dangler, but the bottom corners are exposed. We will see if this becomes an issue. I know of three guys in my ice league that go head hunting and hit me in this area often. Hopefully, I won't have any problems.
This thing feels great once I tightened all of the arm and shoulder straps. Arm movement is better than I expected right out of the box. It definitely covers more area than my XHale which is a nice bonus.
I will post about my game experience after I use it tomorrow on ice and then Sunday in my roller game.
