Best Lightweight Soft upper Body Armour

[MDEVO]

Looking for reviews of soft body armour. Currently have a Klim TekVest, but want something less bulky with elbow protection, and moisture wicking....
Alpinstars Sequence/Klim Tactical jersey....etc
Any suggestions?

Demon Hyper X D3O Top V2

Been using it for years - love it.

Much less bulky than a tex vest.

I'm happy with this , no forearm protection but I wear the Klim Latitude jacket . the forearms are leather , pulled the D3 out of the back and forearms since I wear the vest and the leather forearms does a good job removing branches without pads .

The vest is far better than what's been used I think since it moves with me .

Alpinestars Tech Bionic MTB. Pricey, but much lighter, cooler, and more comfortable than any other body armor I've tried.

Hmm Leatt body armor pretty much saved my life ...when a cow tackled me and stomped on me .
But light weight and not restrictive ,....nope .

up until this season, i ran the tekvest trail pro with the solid chest plate. after getting back into dirt bikes, trail riding, i switched to the soft armor similar to your alpinestars example. the one i went with was the ktm soft armor. https://www.ktm-parts.com/3PW20001250X.html

it is lighter, has shoulder and elbow protection, as well as rib pads.

other than missing the tekvest pockets for wallet/phone, i was very happy with my switch. Ski
