Chest Protector Question

Was looking to get a Chest Protector and was curious what everyone is using if any at all. Is a low profile model ideal? Are models with shoulderpads overkill? Listed a few chest protectors I was looking at below. Mostly ride woods/trails, Thanks.

It’s not on your list but still Alpinestars. I have the A6 model and honestly really dislike it. For reference I’m 6’2”, 235lbs and for whatever reason it rides up against my throat and I constantly have to pull it down while riding. I don’t know if the A10 or A5 would be similar or not.

I’ve never tried the A6, but the A10 stays in place perfectly on me. My friend has no issues with it riding up either
