Does anyone have experience on different types of body armor for SD cliffs and buildings? The main ones I'm looking at are:

-SixSixOne Evo Pressure Suit
-SixSixOne Core Saver
-POC VPD 2.0 Vest
-POC VPD 2.0 Jacket

Do the shoulder pads on the jackets hinder you from reaching your toggles? Has anyone had an actual object strike with one of these? There are reviews on Amazon but they're geared towards mountain biking and snow sports.

I have one - wear it on every SD jump. No object strikes yet so I can't vouch for it in that regard but I like it.

I got it mainly for the back protection but I've seen other dedicated back protection items that look beefier than the Core Saver - though they don't have the pad at the front. I think they might be Dainese.
