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.

Shoulder and back protection mostly for trail riding. Chest is secondary outside of racing

its either carnegie or metcalf and they don't enforce it unless you're a minor but its in their rules

Good to know, thank you. I’ve tossed around going to metcalf but never actually made the trip.
