I’m a girl and not a very big one.. I’m only 5’1 and about 115lbs. The shirt is just a tad bit big, not a real significance really. If I wore another shirt under it, its perfect. I let my son wear this to test it out while I shot at him and he said he didn’t feel any hits. Even though there were several on him. He said even if he felt them, it didn’t hurt at all vs. his arms. His arms weren’t protected so he felt the difference of the hits. I’d say this shirt passed the test! I bought two. One for him and one for me. We’re now ready for our annual company paintball war!

Very well constructed shirt with pads that seem to hold-up quite well. My only beef with the shirt is the size. I purchased a S/M, which I assumed would run in between a small and medium, right? Yeah, not so much. It fits more along the lines of an L/XL. I’m 6′, 175lbs, and normally rock small to medium t-shirts to have that ‘fitted’ feeling, but I can swim in this thing. It’s wide, and the sleeves hang off the shoulders like a set of football shoulder pads would. I’m not saying it’s a deal-breaker, but if you get one, expect to wear some layers underneath to help fill it in.

This review is from: Empire Paintball BT Chest Protector (Sports)
I just played with this for the first time in a 5 man tournament this weekend and I am 100% satisfied with my purchase. I have a very aggressive style of play so therefore I got shot often in the chest and usually multiple times. I normally have a dozen or more welts/bruises on my chest after a game and lets just say I get funny stares when I go swimming. After a full day of play I had zero welts on my chest and back. The shirt fits roomy for your size, it is not a compression shirt, and is very light and cool for hot weather. I wear an XL and I first bought the Dye Precision Performance shirt and that XL was so tight that I nearly suffocated trying to get my head through it…I returned it immediately and ordered this shirt. I would highly recommend this shirt for a better fit and a better price.
