So I think I've narrowed it down to the Tryonic Feel 3.7 (pic in original post) and A* SMX Bionic 2 chest/spine protector (pic in maxxxboost's post).

I like that the Tryonic only transmits 3.7 kN of force while almost every other protector including the Forcefield L2 Kevlar doesn't give any specs (CE Lvl2 only requires <9 kN so it could be anything). It also happens to look pretty awesome =D. But it has zero kidney protection and seems to be scooped out on the sides in the name of aesthetic appeal which seems kinda dumb.

The A* doesn't give any specs other than the CE Lvl2 rating either, but I like that it has dedicated kidney protection. I also like that for the same $200, it comes with chest protection in one piece. The only other comparable armor I could find was the Forcefield Extreme Harness Flite but it's $250 which is really starting to get up there - and still has no kidney protection.
