I got this with the neck protector combo. Fits at least 1 size to small. I wear xl/xxl shirts and no stranger to underarmor apparell so skin tight doesn't bother me, but dang this is tight. I can easily wear XL size T-shirts and have a muscle build type frame. This fits skin tight, but for a big guy 225-230 6'1" its to small in size XXL. It did however break in a little wearing it for the day and it does bounce a few balls, but you still get some welps with it when getting hit. Lots of coverage, but padding is to thin and to tight.

dye and their fitting charts...

ok so i'm not a small guy, i'm not the average paintball "build" i'm 6'4'' and 265 lbs. played a lot of football and basketball in my life and paintball happens to be my favorite sport. in saying that, dye has issues with their sizes with most of their padding. some of the problem is that i'm not skinny by any means, but the shirt does run really small, the xxl is definitly not a "real" xxl. the knee pads and elbow pads run small, as well as their jerseys and pants. pretty much everything they make runs a bit small. so if you're a xl or xxl guy in average clothes theres a chance that some of the dye stuff just won't fit you. sometimes there isn't a way around it. just might have to buy another brand for fit. empire on the other hand has the opposite problem, the pants run huge. so i don't know. might have to stick to football lol

I bought this protector about a year ago. I like it but as the previous poster said, it runs small. I am 5'11" and 178 lbs and fit/muscular build. I got the L/XL and it fits but is tight. The picture makes it look elastic like under armor but it isn't at all. The fabric is not as stretchy as the picture looks. Over all i am very happy with the product but I wish they had an XL size that was slightly bigger and then the XXL. If u are fit and 150-160 lbs u will probably be fine with the L/XL. If u are 180+ then u might be happier with the XXL. Mine fits barely, but is tight and hard to take off especially when sweaty.Performance is great. I get more bounces and it breaths well so I wear it all year except when temps get up in the 90's F. Don't wash it with Ur Velcro though. The material will puff when it contacts Velcro.

Well i got this today, I ordered a XL thinking it would fit fine, not!!! these fit extremely small, I wear a lg XL in most everything, this thing fit like a small I could not get it on at all, so if you weigh over 150 lbs or have a big build stay away from these, this is disappointing.
