I am really impressed by the quality of the materials and how well it’s put together. The fit was true to size so I didn’t have to worry about guessing the size. I really appreciate the rubber tips on the draw strings. I’ve owned other hoodies that use plastic tips. In the wind, they would tap against my helmet and would quite annoying.
The elbow and shoulder armor are decent. The back on the other hand, I’m not a fan of. It’s foam and not flexible at all. I wouldn’t mind paying a little more to get CE2 for the back plate.
As a MSF coach, I have recommended the hoodie to multiple students and will continue to do so.
