Most guards are too tight in the upper sizes (L-XL). People with a strong stature does not fit most protectors on the market. The Powerslide Protectors are wonderfully large cut and highly scalable. Both with arm sling (slip through / cover) as well as Velcro fasteners to tighten. Both adequately dimensioned in size XL, for strong men with height to 1.95m.
Shock absorption also seems to be good. In tests we felt the impact against the guards by little. But falls I have not had it.
