Bottom Line:
I Have used a few different brands of armor, mainly a 661 Pressure suit. The 661 Pressure suit is OK but overrated, the chest piece is a poor design and they don't fit. The Axo Air Cage uses a better mesh, and has a better waist elastic system for holding the protector in place. It is also lighter and has more vent holes. I would say the Axo Air Cage is on par (or better) than the 661 Pro Pressure suit, and it is about $80 less. All in all, it is a simple, well thought-out design at a good price.
