Okay so i got a new chest protector from my brother for an early christmas gift, and i never really had a new chest protector ever, and im wondering if it being stiff is normal? its brand new, and it fits good, its just really stiff.
So is that normal??

| yes, most brand new chest pads are going to be stiff and will loosen up over time. |

| You've got a nice brother. And yes - it'll gradually loosen up the more you wear it and sweat in it, it'll soften up the materials. |

| when i first got my rbk 6k chesty, i couldn't touch my right hand to my left ear at all. it takes time to wear in and get loose, some people suggest putting in the bathroom when you have a hot shower to get it steamy. but i just think wearing it will work itself out. |

Wow to the C/A protector. That's really nice stuff.
My 6.0 was the same, Itech. I couldn't believe how stiff it was. To the OP, just wear it a half dozen times, and it should loosen up for ya!
