I got the TLD in today. I'm 6'1" 235 and this thing feels like it is for a 5 year old kid. The front doesn't even cover my gut.

What size did you get?? I'm 6'1" 225 and ordered the L/XL in the POC but that was the biggest size the offered.

L/XL

It is pretty nice, very close fitting. Just feel that my abdomen is very exposed. My older Moose/Acerbis covered down past my naval. I'm trying to unscrew the panel to adjust it down, but that looks like it will only go maybe an inch lower.

I wear the Acerbis Cosmo now for 3 years and I love it.

Wow that is a heavy duty piece of armor. Never seen a crop top body armor like that.

My current complaint is finding a good set of Elbow Pads that won't slip yet aren't super hard and annoying fit.

I currently have the SixOneSix soft elbow pads but usually 1/4 way into ride they slip.

I have heard good things about this company. I am considering getting their elbow pads.

Kali is a similar company to POC in that they have there roots in mountain biking. Really good stuff though

Just zip tie them to the upper arm guard. It ends up being like a suit, but w/o the added "jacket" material.

Close up. They never fall down. You adjust them till there perfect. Then never think about it again.

I love the creative ideas we all come up with.
This is a good one and cheap.

Only bad thing is that my Leatt Chest Protector does not have those arm thing guards. But this does give me an idea I will look in to.

Thanks for sharing
