FIE Plastron

I looked at and tried on many of the vendor's FIE plastrons. PBT had the only one that was suitable for me. I have a small frame so I wear a size small. It covers the torso well and fits snug in the shoulder area. Many of the plastrons same labelled size were too large in the bicep and shoulder. This caused excess bunching under the jacket. The PBT fits snug but still allows mobility.



I would prefer the velcro fastener on the neck be changed. The hook side is on the strap and faces the skin. If I don't fasten it low enough the hooks irritate my neck.



The interior lining is cotton while the exterior is nylon. Turn the cotton side out to allow for faster drying. The neck strap is elastic. The torso strap has a plastic fastener and is adjustable. Thankfully I have not had to test it's safety capabilities yet!



Overall, I would buy another if needed.
