Armored Shirts

I bought an armored shirt from sixsixone a few months ago, despite reading some negative reviews on the stitch quality. I got a good deal, so I rolled the dice. Turns out, the reviews were dead on. I'm not sure about the quality of everything else they make, but the shirt is crap. Every single seam is ripping. I feel like the next time I pull it off I'll look like Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania, ripping the shirt right in half. So now I'm looking for a replacement, and I've narrowed it down to the Knox Venture and the Dainese Hybrid. The Knox looks a little more refined, but the the Dainese looks more protective. Anyone have first hand experience with either one? Recommendations? Should I look at something entirely different?
