You can mostly forget you're wearing it, even when the temperature reaches 20 degrees C, it didn't feel noticeably worse than just a t-shirt. Foam forms very well to your body and with the right size everything sits in the right places. BUT, there are some issues. 1. Nipple chafe, the material they used is breathable but not a super soft material. Took a couple hours to appear and there was no bleeding but still noticeable. Seems to be caused by the chest armour sagging when you are leant forward cycling. 2. It is difficult to get in and out of, especially when sweaty/wet. If you just try pulling it off you damage the seams. If you struggle with flexibility you'll probably need a hand to get it on/off. Could definitely use some kind of zip/velcro system. 3. Back protection does not cover lower back completely, pictures kind of suggest it will rest just above your butt however this is not the case. Overall I would still choose to wear it as aside from the nipple chafe it is next to forgetable whilst riding, but some plasters or moleskin for more sensitive areas will probably be needed in the future.
