Performance: I was a little skeptical when we first took these shirt out of the packaging because I don't really like extra protection unless I absolutely need it, but Storelli scored a goal with this item. The padding is extremely flexible and really does mold to your body shape. You do have to make sure you get this tight-fit otherwise I can see it being a little cumbersome. There are plenty of seams in the padding which allows them to flex and bend where you need them to, yet at the same time offers some serious protection. The "ChesTrap" padding reminds me a lot of a catcher's chest protector in baseball and does a great job of absorbing the impact of a shot with minimal shock to the player. This is a great item for players coming off injury or just trying to avoid getting one and when worn under a goalkeeper jersey is really not noticeable.
Feel: Like I mentioned, this shirt is very flexible and lightweight despite all the protection it offers. The body of the shirt is made from a moisture-management material that helps wick sweat and moisture off your body. This is definitely designed to fit tight so make sure you keep that in mind when ordering.
Rating: 8.5/10
