Richa D3O Diablo Level 2 Protectors - Knee / Elbow

It’s so good that it moulds to your elbow like play-doh, and it’s thinner, but still level 2!

For transparency I've only given these 4 out of 5 stars because thankfully I have not needed to test the impact protection these give so cannot comment on that, having said that they should perform as well as any other armour as per the level its been tested to. What I can comment on is that these are a great improvement on anything I've previously installed around my knees. The lower profile allows for less pressure around the knee when riding and significantly reduces chaffing on any contact areas, leading to more long term comfort. The slight curve and thinner profile help trousers to sit in position better rather than making your trousers ride up your boots, as they can do with bulky armour inserts and they are short enough not to snag the top of any off road mx type boots, the slot for attaching a velcro securing strap ( if fitted to your garment) ensures you get them in the best secure position for you. The perforated design allows a lot more air flow and noticeably assists with cooling, especially when combined with light weight summer trousers. The physical size seems pretty universal when I compare them against other armour I have, and with a level 2 rating these are towards the upper levels of protection available. I Definitely recommend these if you're looking for any of the benefits listed above.

Great armour for jeans as well as increasing to lvl 2 armour
