TUOY Rib Chest Protector Padded Compression Shirt, Black, Size Medium — 5-Zone 11mm EVA Impact Guard

The TUOY Adult Rib Chest Protector is a padded, integrated 5-pad compression shirt that protects ribs, sternum and chest during contact sports while remaining breathable and flexible.

This updated TUOY version combines a one-piece padding structure with breathable compression fabric for reliable coverage across the chest, ribs and shoulders. Designed for multi-sport use, the protector uses 11mm EVA foam pads arranged in five zones to absorb impacts from balls, collisions and sudden knocks while offering a snug, athletic fit. Moisture-wicking fibers and flat seams keep you comfortable during extended wear without restricting movement.

How does the padding stay intact and prevent falling apart?

The newest TUOY design fuses the foam padding into a single integrated unit so individual pads won’t separate over time. Bonding the padding increases durability and keeps protective coverage consistent wear after wear.

• One-piece padding integration prevents pad migration.
• Durable EVA foam resists compression and shape loss.
• Flat seam construction locks pads in place and reduces abrasion.

What level of protection and coverage does it provide?

Five larger pads provide targeted protection for sternum, heart, ribs and upper chest while extending coverage to the shoulders. The 11mm foam thickness offers impact cushioning suitable for sports impacts, helping reduce the force felt from projectiles and hits.

• Sternum and heart area pad for frontal protection.
• Side and rib panels wrap around for improved coverage.
• Shoulder-edge padding reduces contact abrasion during tackles and slides.

Will this affect my mobility or get too hot during play?

The TUOY protector is built from high-elasticity, moisture-wicking fabric that stretches with your movements and channels sweat away from the body. Ergonomic 3D flexibility and flat seams minimize pressure points, letting you change direction freely while staying comfortable in warm or cold conditions.

• High-stretch fabric supports full range of motion.
• Moisture-wicking fibers keep skin drier in intense sessions.
• Flat seams and slim profile reduce chafing under gear.

Which size should I choose and how should it fit?

Measure your chest circumference and choose the size that matches the TUOY chart for the best fit; the shirt feels snug at first and will become more comfortable after a few wears. A close fit ensures the pads stay aligned with your ribs and sternum for optimal protection.

• S: 29–33"; M: 33–37"; L: 37–43".
• XL: 43–48"; XXL: 48–53"; 3XL: 53–59".
• Tight at first is normal—fabric relaxes slightly with wear.

Who is this for: Athletes seeking lightweight, breathable chest and rib protection across multiple sports—baseball catchers, football players, lacrosse athletes, paintballers and recreational players in hockey, rugby, cycling, skiing or snowboarding—will find TUOY’s padded shirt useful for reducing impact discomfort while maintaining mobility. It suits anyone who wants a low-profile protective layer that fits under jerseys or over a base layer and stays reliable through frequent practices and games.
