The Med. Ribtect was too small for me in the side and rib areas. It was tight enough to effect my breathing, I felt like I could not take a deep breath. This was with my vest on. The legs and the hips were good.

The ML seat I have clears my arm pits good. It was a little loose on the sides and rib area until I added the padding. The Zoombang pads are about 3/8 thick, with them the sides and ribs are snug. There is a little room for movement in the leg and hip area but it does not bother me. I could probably add some pads to the sides of the legs. I still have the Med seat if you are interested, I think it is probably too small. Where are you located? I am about an hour north of the Jim Hall school.

I have experienced similar pain as you describe. Had to take a break for about a month, then got back into it. I believe most of my problem was conditioning. After I got over the initial “soreness” I have been able to run pretty hard with no pain. I am 5’9″ 142lbs. and use a Ribtect medium large seat with Ribtect 3 vest. It was still a little loose so I added Zoombang padding to the sides and back. I did try to go to a medium Ribtect seat but it was too small. I could get in but was noticeably tight. Seems I am in between the 2 sizes.

Cyberlink PowerDirector 12. Less than 100 bucks. Easy to use. Has plenty of options should you want to make more complex videos in the future. Lots of youtube videos that show how to use it. I was able to make multicam videos very easy.
