Great back protector. I use it in a riding shirt and you do notice it's in there.
Barely notice it’s there
Great bit of kit, fitted into my jacket without any dramas even with it being an older and out of production jacket, big fan of how It warms up with body heat to mould to your back for maximum comfort and a nice close fit
Absolutely Mega piece of kit
I brought this back protector to fit inside of my Pando Moto bodysuit and it fits perfectly! It's incredibly versatile and actually very comfortable, even in my bodysuit top, which isn't leather. It moulds to your back and isn't stiff at all. I definitely recommend this product.
Very comfy and good fit. I got a medium and is perfect for me
Very comfortable bit of kit. Easy moulds to your shape whilst riding. You don’t really know you have it fitted. Not to bulky. I have a couple now for different jackets.
Fitted my RST S1 leather jacket perfectly. Did not affect jacket fit. Very flexible.
Being level 2 and therefore thicker, I was concerned that I would notice it while riding, but a test ride shows that not to be the case, and I didn't even think about it during the ride.
Fits perfectly in my Alpinestars Halo jacket. The flexible, rubbery material moves with your body, making it much more comfortable than the standard insert. It’s a solid upgrade in both protection and fit—no bulk, no restriction, just better peace of mind on the road.
This is just the right size for my jacket and doesn’t feel uncomfortable.
Feels solid and fits well into my jacket. When riding you don't know it's there.
This fits so much better than the one included with Jacket, had to adjust slightly.
Bought this version to fit Ixon jacket after in store helped find armour that fit pocket. This version was the cheapest at the time since all D3O is the same, you pay for brand name on stone for no reason so shop round
Bought this to fit into a recent jacket that I bought. I have a number of jackets, which all now have D30 back protectors in, and would highly recommend them for comfort and they do not make you sweat on hot days.
it fits fine but Held need to get their distribution sorted out, it should not take months to deliver from Germany
I already have one in another jacket and had been swapping it but for the price it was worth it, a lot lighter than the one that came in the RST jacket and the usual Sportsbikeshop service
It works great! Fits my jacket well
Level 2 protection, air ventilation, very lightweight and very good value.
