Wesing Martial Arts Muay Thai Boxing Chest Protector MMA Sanda Chest Guard

I am 5’ 8” 180 pounds at 15% body fat with muscular frame. The XL fits good but I think I could have even got L since the straps allow for a lot of adjustment. I’m probably that in between size but leaning towards XL.Don’t worry too much if you are off a little on their size charts. There’s a lot of room for size error.Tested this out in MMA class last night against a guy who likes to throw side kicks and land with his heel. I got this because I was tired of bruised ribs that take two weeks to heal all the time. This did the job. If you are already conditioned and have been taking kicks without armor you will find this helps a lot.You will still get hurt if you take a direct hard shot but if you are moving away or blocking and your opponent isn’t going 100% this should be more than adequate for most sparring sessions. If I had to put a number on it I’d say it reduces the impact you feel by at least 40-50%.It’s very light and not too restrictive. Once I get moving I forget I’m wearing it. Hard to put on by yourself so have your sparring partner help you. It is possible to do alone by cinching the belts first and pulling it over like a hoodie but you need to wiggle and pull a little and have some flexibility.

Does the job as expected, and protects the body well. Watch the sizing, as warned about in other reviews.We ordered an XL for an adult male (175 lbs, 6'0", approx. 34" waist). It fits correctly, after adjusting where the horizontal straps run through the vertical loop, although it is a cut a little low around the upper ribs. We may have been better to go with a large.Movement is slightly restricted, so it takes some practice to move the way you'd expect in this. Again, that is not unexpected and the armor is strong enough that force from blows is substantially reduced.Have not tried this for heavy, full-contact, but took a few serious hits while participating in a karate tournament with an existing rib injury, and it performed exceedingly well.

Love it! Sizing was spot on by weight class (I’m Thor sized/shaped). Doesn’t impede motion, lightweight, and provides just enough protection to prevent rib breaks and most bruising but thankfully you’ll still feel the blows and want to protect yourself (i.e., you’re defense skills will still improve, unlike overly protective vests).Also, the shielding won’t adversely affect your opponents’ hands, either MMA or boxing gloves, which is great. We spar 2-3 times a week, very happy with this product.

Someone mentioned in the reviews before that this chest protector is not for someone who hasn’t conditioned their body as it doesn’t offer *a lot* of protection, and that is true. However! I very much enjoy this chest protector as it’s light weight but hard. I never liked the big and bulky ones, I need to be able to move light on my feet and I believe it keeps me well protected, but I’ve been sparring for years and I’m fairly conditioned. I think it runs quite small in size, though. I’m usually a small in chest protectors but in this one I’m a medium and it fit me perfectly, not at all loose but you can adjust it in the back. I’m a five foot tall female, roughly 150 pounds with a small torso. Hope this helps!

This is kinda like a baseball catcher’s chest protector. It’s light and covers my entire front upper torso, and I weigh 220. My 10 year old packs a wallop after 8 months of Muay Thai, but this absorbs it well. I originally was looking at the Triumph United super thick gut and nut protector, but my kid doesn’t kick hard enough to necessitate that degree of padding yet.I like this one a lot more. It’s light, it absorbs punches, and covers a large area.I did have to get a padded waist belt with a big padded leather cup, after he misfired a couple of times.

If you are a martial artist who does realistic sparring, this rib/chest guard is for you. I've gotten punched with full strength and this guard has protected my ribs from being broken. I am 145 lbs, 5'8" and the Large fit me perfectly, a Medium would definitely have been too small. This Wesing chest guard and the PTM chest guard are the best ones in the market hands down.

FOUR STARS BECAUSE IT RUNS SMALL AND DOES NOT OFFER VERY MUCH SECURITY IN PROTECTION. DEFIANTLY NOT FOR A BEGINNER.IT DOES OFFER EASY ON AND OFF. IT ALSO DOES NOT SEEM TO BE AS HOT AS TRADITIONAL PROTECTORS. THESE WERE PURCHASED FOR TWO TEENAGE BOYS 13 & 14 YRS OLD. THEY WEIGH OVER 100LBS AND ARE 5'2.THEY PRACTICE KICKBOXING & HAVE BEEN AT IT FOR OVER A YEAR. I CANNOT CONFIRM THE LONGEVITY OF THE PRODUCT AS OF YET. OVERALL I AM PLEASED WITH THE PRODUCT.

I shopped around through the various brands of chest protectors and kept coming back to Wesing. This protector is not bulky but still provides good protection. Feels good wearing them while sparring. You won't feel like the Michelin man wearing them, like the other thick spongy chest protectors do. You're getting a much better protector with Wesing and saving money too.

Don't protect much. Very thin foam and super hard. Almost feel like not having anything on.. not happy at all. The only reason I give more than one star it's because of the way you attach it is nice.

buen producto me gusto

Aesthetically pleasing, easy to put on, and light-weight design. The padding is thin but very dense, so protects the frontal area, the lower sides, and the lower back well against blows from punches and kicks. It also allows for good maneuverability.I am 179cm at 67kg, and the XL size I initially ordered was too loose on me, so I gave it to a friend who is over 180cm at 80kg and it fits him well. Instead I ordered a L size and it fits much better.We've only used them once so I'll have to post an update in some months concerning durability.

身長169センチ、体重55キロ。細身のためSサイズを購入しました。胴回りは丁度良いのですが、縦の長さが若干短かったので身長170センチくらいの人はMサイズがオススメです。使用感は薄くて軽量、動きの邪魔になりません。衝撃もかなり緩衝し、擦過傷も防げるので激しいスパーには良いと思います。

キックボクシングのジムで使用。肋骨を骨折する度に使用しています。厚みは結構あるのでかさばりますが、衝撃吸収性はいいです。
