Excellent. (08.02.2017)

I use the harness as a vest under a mesh jacket. I use custom shoulder and elbow armor in the jacket, not the Forcefield shoulder/elbow armor (which is substantial, but has less coverage and does not stay in place as well as my customized setup). That said, I really like the chest and back protection the harness affords.
The chest and back armor is thick, substantial, and the coverage area is excellent. CE2. The vest also stays in place, and is where it needs to be to protect. It is also easy to put on and remove. Adjusments are simple and secure.
Comfort level is very good. The Forcefield Net armor is not as form fitting (with body heat) as D30 armor, but does form fit and the fit is extremely comfortable.
The venting could be improved. The Net armor has large openings throughout, which makes it appear well vented, but the padded backing the Net armor is attached to does not allow a large volume of air to pass freely. The backing has about 4 holes per square inch, which should be adequate, but most of the holes in my harness line up with the solid grid portion of the Net armor, which reduces the air passage to about 2 holes per 4 square inches. Fortunately, a large volume of air does enter around the arms, which makes it comfortable while riding. Nonetheless, living in Florida, better alignment of the padding holes would be a big improvement for the summer months.
