It’s D30!!
15 Nov 2025 by Jim L
I purchased an Oxford Walton II from Team Sandie at Boston in the summer and I wanted a slim fitting back protector for it. This level 2 back protector is very pliable allowing for unobtrusive movement and is also vented. D30 armour is lightweight and this is no exception, as was installed I don’t notice it.
As ever, great service from SBS and the staff are always willing to help with advice.
