Icon D3O Diablo Level 2 Hip Protector Inserts

I’ve now swapped every item of motorcycle clothing I own over to D3O Diablo Level 2 armour. No exceptions.

It isn’t cheap, but it is exceptional. The protection level is excellent, but what really sets it apart is how thin, flexible and comfortable it is compared with older Level 2 armour. It is a world apart from the bulky, chunky inserts we were used to only a few years ago.

It works brilliantly because it moves with you rather than feeling like rigid armour strapped into your clothing. The ventilation is also outstanding - genuinely better airflow than any other armour I’ve seen or used, including Ghost armour.

I have even just this week tried Klim’s new Rogue Level 2 armour. As all my kit is Klim, I wanted to stay brand loyal, but I have to say I still prefer the Diablo. It is more lighter, more flexible, thinner, and the difference in airflow is immeasurable.

For me, this is now the benchmark. Expensive, yes, but absolutely worth it.

What a great purchase. Feel like they are not even there when I wear my jeans. So much better than the yellow ‘bricks’ that the jeans came with. Well worth the upgrade.

Bought to replace the inserts in my rst x kevlar® tech pro jeans and they don't disappoint. Can't even feel them on or off the bike and they offer the best protection at level 2. As always, speedy service from SBS
