I now have a FOX Roost II that I have had for a few years. Like the ZacSpeed, it has stiff polycarbonate chest and backplate. I really like this as it provides better protection from being speard by sticks and/or your bars in a crash. I wear a Camelback over the top, and have added a snap connector to the ends of the shoulder straps to keep them tight. This works fairly well, but I think it will be uncomfortable on my right shoulder.
Personally, the Acerbis Zoom I had was junk and fell apart in one season, I would never buy another one.
Steve, none of these things is going to protect you against a high energy impact, but the shoulders should be good enough for rolling on in a low speed get off.
