If it feels like armour in your bike kit then the law demands it is actually proper, protective armour. Here's how to tell how effective your impact protection is...
Customers appreciate the D3O Viper armour for its lightweight, flexible design and superior protection compared to standard options. They praise its ability to mold to the body, enhancing comfort without compromising on safety. The armour’s thin profile and breathability are noted as significant improvements over traditional bulkier protectors, enhancing ventilation in warmer weather. Customers highlight its easy fit into various jacket brands, though some experienced sizing discrepancies. Generally, they recommend it as a valuable upgrade for enhanced safety and comfort.
Super comfortable and providing first class protection (which I hope I never put to the test )
Sizing is vital so I measured my back pocket and needed a XL for my Halvarsson Walkyr jacket. Excellent service as ever from Sportsbike shop.
Breathable and comfortable
Breathable and comfortable. Don't know it's there when on the bike.
I commute, but wanted more from my jackets stock insert, I barely know its there as its soft enough to form to my back and flex as I ride, but seems sturdy enough to protect me (hopefully i'll never need to find out for sure)
Fitted the pocket on my Weise leather jacket. Purchased to replace old back protector.
Flexible as you expect from d3o. Comfortable.
Quick delivery.
Bought as an upgrade to fit iin my Richa infinity pro 2 jacket, which fits perfectly.
Bought this to fit my Halvarson Skalltorp jacket. It's light and seems to mold itself to me when I put the jacket on. Hardly know it's there. The discounted price made it a no brainier. Just perfect
9/10ths of the original L2 D3O back protector. Much lighter and more ventilated than the original, but the lighter foam used combined with the more angular design makes it a tad less comfortable than the regular one. Doesn't mould quite as well when warmed up, either, but once you're riding for a bit you'll forget about it.
Weight savings will be worth it alone for some!
So much better than the level 1 that came with the jacket, not bulky, light weight and fits perfectly on my Atlantic 2 jacket.
Great upgrade from my level 1, worth the price for the extra protection and peace of mind.
Light weight and comfortable got for 35£ on sale sizing chart is confusing had to get size L armour for size S jacket
The D3O Viper armour is better than I expected. It’s lighter, thinner, flexible than the traditional Level 2 back protector I was using and it should flow more air too.
I’ve upgraded the shoulder armour too and my jacket is lighter and more comfortable as a result. The only issue is that you have to believe that this lighter armour is actually Level 2 as the comparison with more traditional armour is like chalk and cheese.
Good service and a good price for this product from SBS as usual.
Recommend.
This moulded to my shape and feels very light weight compared to my old back armour. Great protection at a great price what's not to like. Brucey bonus is it fits both my jackets.
I use this in my RST S-1 textile jacket. Sportsbikeshop were fantastic as they always are in helping identify one that would work. I wanted to use this over the RST option as I’ve had D30 armour before and I know it works well. Really thin and flexible but still strong. Not tested it in anger and hope I never do, but it’s very comfortable and doesn’t make your back particularly sweaty on hot days (in the UK at least!). Perfect service from Sportsbikeshop.
Great product, fitted jacket perfectly, thin and comfortable
I swapped out a standard protector and tried 3 or 4 different options before landing on this. It's flexibility is fantastic and doesn't feel like it's there when wearing my jacket.
Quality level 2 back protector which is only 18mm thick. Very pliable and comfortable within my Rebelhorn leather jacket. This is the “air” version, so should offer decent ventilation in the warmer months. Was a bargain in the sale.
Fitted perfectly into my Richa Phantom 3 jacket. Must more substantial,than Level 1, without being bulky or cumbersome.
