I replaced the default Styrofoam armor in my Victory Core Mesh Jacket with these guards. They fit easily enough and bump my jacket up to CE protection. These inserts are heavier than the Styrofoam but that's to be expected. They feel like much better protection though, and actually seem better than I expected for the price. This gear is CE approved, so I shouldn't be too surprised.
These inserts are still quite flexible even though they are fairly solid. They feel a lot like compressed rubber. I expect that they are great abrasion protection with limited impact protection. As mentioned elsewhere, they do have a slight odor to them. It's not a bad smell though. They smell soapy, with a bit of citrus. It's not a very strong smell but it's something you can notice. The odor isn't something that would put me off using these inserts.
Overall this seems like a good purchase since the price is rather low and (at the time of this writing) there is only one level of CE rated protection for shoulders and arms.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I was looking for protection that was more than just just the dense foam rubber like the tempur pedic bed that came inside my jacket. this is more like a harder rubber and offers more cushioning and protection in case of impact than the foam rubber.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I purchased this armor not as a replacement but as "new in an old jacket." My wife sewed in pockets in a 1970s H-D jacket I like to wear. I didn't want to lay out a bunch of coin on a new jacket but wanted more protection if I transitioned from riding to sliding. This armor was inexpensive, well made, and just what I needed. It also is NOT made in the People's Republic of CHINA which is always one of my main selection criteria. Highly recommended!!
Yes, I recommend this product.

This product fits perfectly to my Alpinestars Northshore jacket. It does take a little effort but it is worth it. Does have a strong lemon/citrus smell if that does bother anyone, i personally don't mind. Great product.
Pros Rugged, Comfortable
Yes, I recommend this product.

If your looking for replacement armor for your jacket, these are awesome. They are really thin and overall a bit smaller than what you would normally see in a jacket. Its a very interesting material that is very flexible when you bend it but feels quite firm when you compress it. Nonetheless they are CE certified and you can barely tell its in your jacket when you're wearing it. They're designed for Alpine star jackets but would work in most other brands. The only con and this is rather unusual, but it has a strong odor to it. Its like a perfume and rubber smell. It evens leaves the scent on your hands if you handle it. Even after I washed it with soap and water it remained...its just the way it smells i guess. If you can get around that then its a fine product.
Pros Rugged, Comfortable
Yes, I recommend this product.

I don't think you would have a problem fitting the armor, but you aren't getting a real difference in protection between the two. Personally, I would stick with the REV'IT! armor as it will probably end up fitting better in the pockets and not sliding around.
