Great product

They feel solid but flexible enough to be comfortable inside my jeans. They are a little too big to fit completely into the pocket so aren't able to close it at the top

Put these in the RST Ventilator X and aren't even noticeable, which is a plus for level 2 protectors.

RST Contour Plus Hip Armour

Those pair of hip armour fit my RST jeans perfectly. They are thick enough to offer excellent protection, yet thin enough that you hardly feel them on. Great service from Sportsbikeshop as always.

Quality product

Can't fault RST products, and great service from Sportsbikeshop as ever. These hip protectors were a retrospective purchase for my RST trousers, but fit ok and give all important hip/pelvic protection if I ever come to grief. Thankfully not found out yet, but they seem good quality.

Protection Where You Need It!
20 Feb 2023 by JJ
Bigger, and 'tougher' than I expected. They fit the trousers like a glove and don't feel massive when I'm wearing the them which is good.
To be fair, I haven't tested these in anger, and don't ever want to! However, knowing that that extra level of protection is 'there' should there be an incident is good to know when I'm on the bike.
As always, excellent service from SBS, superfast delivery, packaged securely.....and a good price.
I cannot fault these guys for their service(s).
One comment I noted on another review is not about SBS but RST themselves, why aren't these included as part of the package when you buy the trousers, maybe that makes the cost of the trousers prohibitive but for me, they should come 'as standard'.
Part of the reason you buy the trousers is protection, so it feels like a no-brainer, to me anyway!

Found the protection easy to fit in my RST Adventure trousers.
I can hardly feel the armour when wearing them. Again so easy to fit I'm now going to fit them to my other pair of RST Jeans.

Fit the jeans well
15 Jun 2022 by Anonymous
It would have been 5 stars if these were included in with jeans. Not Sportsbikeshop's problem, I just think it's a bit cheeky you get stiffed for these protectors. However they fitted snuggly in the jeans my other half got and she doesn't notice them in.
