| The 32 Degrees Chest Protector is newer, so it should be commonly available, both new and used. |

| Review: |
Ok I am not exactly sure how well this device would work in normal play but we took a bunch of chest protectors and a BE Talon Ghost and did a little experiment. I wore the chest protector and my friend shot me point blank in the chest. No matter what chest protector we used it didnt work I still felt the shot. Now in regular play this may differ but in regular play why do you need a chest protector, its only a paintball, the only time you need it is when you have the possibility of being bunkered. There is no point at wasting your money on this, it will only cause you a hassle and wont serve a good purpose. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Not worth the time, money or effort. Plus I found that chest protectors restricted my ability to move and twist my chest to get up tight into bunkers so I dont bother with them, and I would reccomend anyone else did. |

| Strengths: |
not much, if you were going to be a distraction to the other team and you knew that you'd get shot up real bad, you might consider this. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
-really thin, it's like 2cm thick, you think thats even going to make a difference when a paintball traveling at 200mph hits you?
-it's too hot, it says it vents well, but it dosn't, it gets really hot.
-it only covers the front. no protection at all in the back
-it dosn't make the slightest difference.
-you don't need it, only newbies he have never playad before wear this. |
|
| Conclusion: |
i wouldn't buy it, it dosn't help and it's too hot. it somewhat restricts your movement also. |

|
| Strengths: |
It's pretty comfortable.. it can be stuffy at times... would advise getting wearing a turtle neck sweater for extra neck protection and this vest for added protection so you can take the hits less painfully.. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Don't wear this on a hot day, beyond 68 degrees to 75 degrees farenheit... it just gets too hot and the paintballs due to hot weather will break upon impact.. if about 60 degree temps.. then you should wear turtle neck and the chest protector... you could go without chest protector but as you know the cooler the temps are the paintballs might not explode and could hurt you more... definetely keep the turtle neck at all times unless it gets real hot for you.. It's much better than getting that JT neck protector (although it's cheap) you can get long sleeve protection which helps.. getting shot in the chest is much rarer than on the arms, hands. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Any chest protector is good. This one is sufficient, comfortable, and light. |

| Review: |
Well i don't know what people are complaining about when they rate this a 1 they obviously DON'T HAVE ONE. or maybe felt it.....the plain facts:
1. The chest protector stops the paint ball just like its supposed to do, i do not feel the paintball when i am hit.
2. its thin.....THIS IS GOOD who wants to have a thick chestprotector that you cant move in these are obviosly amatures.
1 shirt and this what more could you really want...unless... you want to wear 5 peices of clothing?
|
|
| Conclusion: |
Its kinda annoying to have red spots all over your chest this stops it, and thats all i would expect from it. Anyone that says this is crap doesnt have one or hasnt used it or likes to be a snowman its not magical it wont deflect balls and magicly clean your shirt it just stops the balls from hurting and spoting your chest. i give it a 8 because nothign is perfect and it doesnt cover back |

| Strengths: |
I suggest not buying it. You will be very disappointed with this product because it is made very poorly. Do not buy it. Buy something more expensive because you will be a lot more satisfied with another expensive product that is made a lot better. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Ok. Made cheap. It is made like out of paper. I swear. The thing must be 1 millimeter thick. This chestguard is not even a chestguard. I swear you would be able to get a lot more protection with a jacket, but that is not the issue. When I bought this, I thought it would be a pretty good piece of equipment. Wrongo. As soon as I put the chest guard on, I had to make an adjustment on the tightening straps. Guess what? I broke of and the strap fell to the floor. It was very pathetic. This chest guard was made in the US? I was very disappointed. You would expect China to make something like this. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Save yourself the trouble and do not buy it. |

| Review: |
This is really a very good product. Its perfect for people with heart conditions and i wear one because i have an inverted sternum. In short, my chest curves in really deep. I wear one of these because I dont know what will happen if a paintball nails me in the chest hard enough. So i wear one of these. I have been shot in the chest ( wearing this) and you still feel it, but it doesnt hurt nearly as bad. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Its good for people with heart problems or medical conditions |

| Review: |
I was paintballing and i tried one of these on. Wow, they're stupid. I can understand someone having it on if they have medical problems. But seriously, if you don't, don't wear this thing. Makes very little difference. Heck, i make fun of kids who wear these thigns if they're not sick. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I give it a 5 cause little kids who are afraid wear them, but I can see someone who is ill wearing this |
