hi Neenie,
Generally , I don't recommend wearing a chest protector for every training session. In fact, I don't recommend wearing them unless you have to. My reasoning is that they develop sloppy habits in terms of guard, and habits are what come out under pressure.
One of my friends always used to wear one, and it broke in her shodan grading. She had to finish without, and it was very hard, as she was totally not used to it.
So - practise to get used to it, but do practise so much that you are useless without it!
