How thick is the vest? Is it comparable to the thickness of the Forcefield Pro L2 EVO, or is it thicker than that. Just asking so I know if the suit fits properly and has enough room for the vest. I don't want to run into sizing problems down the road.
I would say it's slightly thicker than the L2K. We've had one customer that went up a size from his usual suit to make room for the vest (went from 56 to 58). That said, based on his height and weight I probably would have started him with a 58 from the get go.
TJ hooked me up with the original version and I'm still wearing it, but I have tried the new V2 suit on and imho it fits just a little snugger than the original GP Tech.
