Just received the safe life soft armor.. needs more time for a proper fiting review. They originally sent me the xl model but it was exsevily wide on my chest. I'm hoping the large, I have now softens over use. When I present either a rifle or pistol my arms bind or push in the chest area and cause a ( hot spot)at my biceps. The large is 1/2" less than xl. In the chest. 10.5" measure. Still wide but doable. It covers my sides which will obliged a knife or other in a concealed manner. Hoody on a hot day!
