Testers Review
Superlative, the Forcefield Pro Sub 4 is the backbone of reference, one to which all others must be measured. In independent impact tests, it performed better than that claimed by the manufacturer. Despite being one of the heaviest of the lot, it is nevertheless one of the most comfortable to wear, both on the track and on the road. It perfectly matches the shape of your back and breathes well. Its design and Nitrex foams of different densities mold to your body shape. Its dual clamping system is well thought out with only occasional discomfort caused by the straps which pass under the armpits. It is the back protectorthat offers the best protection on the market.
Best Buy, in our opinion. Four team members have adopted Forcefield for use on a daily basis.
