This is definitely made from good material and feels like it could withstand the impact. It's flexible enough to get used to it and slots in perfectly with all 3 of my alphinestars jackets.

As the title, when this warms up (which doesn't take long) it moves and moulds to you. The old armour was so thin and light you never felt it after 5 min, this becomes part of you.

Was considering between the short and long and the short is more than enough for street riding.

SBS fantastic ordering me in the right size and making sure it fits. Which was a size medium (I am 5'10") for a size 54 Atem Jacket.

Bought to compliment a TechAir3. Like for like size (medium vest and medium back protector). Could probably fit a large back protector in, as there is a Velcro tab to accommodate longer items. Soft enough to be comfortable. Hope I never need it.
