D30 armour

[rat840771]

Anybody use this?

I have some Alpinstars leather trousers and they are just too tight around the knees with the standard protection in, can D30 be added as an replacement?

[bogie]

Yeah, its great, have it in a jacket and 2 pairs of trousers, really comfy, good fit. They do CE level 1 and 2..obviously the L2 stuff is a bit thicker. No reason it shouldn't fit as a replacement to existing stuff

Yeah it's great stuff. So long as the pockets are big enough, no eason why it won't fit.


On another note regarding D3O armour - does anyone use seperate knee armor that you put on under jeans, that can hold D3O pads? I'm gonna order a set of Hood jeans, but they don't have pockets for the armour - just a strip of velco on the armor which attaches to the jeans. I already have D3O armor from other jeans and don't really want to have a velcro strip permanently on the armour - so gonna look out for armour that you wear seperately that can take my existing knee armour.

I wear these under my draggin jeans.

Yeah that's the sort of thing I'm after, just without the armour as I have my own - or a little cheaper. Don't really want to be paying 80-odd quid..

Hi wear these under my Bull-it jeans and my leathers:

I am probably going to fit D3O Armour in them, not sure what will fit though, but as I only live 15miles from SportsBikeShop I will pop in and see what fits and report back!!

[Tall_Paul]

Excellent, that's more like it, thanks!

In that case, I'd try Forcefield NeT Armour Upgrade too. The NeT armour is soft and very comfy, yet achieves the higher Level 2 CE standard

You can get CE2 rated D3O stuff as well as the normal level 1 stuff. There's a few doing the same sort of armour now so plenty to choose from.

D30 knee pads for mountain biking. Same pad as what's in my leathers for £35.

Shame they don't have any in my size though.

cheers for the advice, I ordered the forcefield knee armour and also had a £5 discount voucher.
