hey folks,

I'm considering something like the Thor Sentinel having heard good things about its mix of comfort and protection- ive also found a good deal on one. I'm aware what it isn't, however it is CE certified, but anyone out there with real world experience of their effectiveness? Do you ride with one? Has it helped or hindered you? I'm of the opinion that it's better than nothing at all, in a chest impact with the deck.. thoughts?

If you are talking about the newest THOR SENTINEL GP, then yes it is ce certified, if you are referring to the XP or classic sentinel models, they are not. I used to ride with the classic/old version and it was really comfortable, but the protection in the back is not much ( the front is really good though IMHO). The classic sentinel doesn't work great with alpinestars neck brace (the new one especially), if you use one. Overall it is a good and widely used chest protector, just lacking a bit of material on the back.
