I bought this kit for my Ronin, thinking it would work well considering it is the set specifically designed for my jacket. Unfortunately I've replaced or plan on replacing every item in the kit. I found that on my large size jacket, the elbow pads would ride too far forward and stop covering the pointy part of my elbow, and the shoulder pads would sit too low and only cover the meat of my shoulder rather than the bones that need the coverage. I replaced the shoulders and elbow armor with the Forcefield replacement armor and it works way better! It stays in place and provides significantly better coverage for the areas that need protection. I would even say that it is less visible under the jacket.

I'm also finding the back armor is surprisingly rigid and almost sticks up along the edges. Even when I'm standing upright and relaxed, it leaves a weird fold just below my neck. I'm planning on getting the Icon d30 back protector and trimming it to shape as a replacement. I'm hoping the more flexible d30 will work better with the line of the jacket.

So you went and did it huh? You sunk a boatload of dough on a Roland Sands jacket that didn't even come with armor like all the rest? So now you're stuck buying the armor too...

Well you made a good choice, this armor is lightweight, comfortable, and not insanely expensive unlike the jackets. Take pride in knowing that you made a good choice and most likely you won't notice it when installed on your new RSD.

I own three RSD jackets and this armor is in all of them. They do add some weight to the jackets, but are soft and bend with your body. I had gone down on a low side and the elbow and shoulder parts did their job. One good thing is that they are removable, so you have a jacket that can be worn out on the town. Only complaint I have the elbow and shoulder pieces are a little difficult to get in place and can move around, but not much. Roland Sands make stylish gear, that doesn't sacrifice safety. If your looking to purchase one of his jackets go all in. It is a little costly but worth every penny.

These are very good quality inserts. I bought them for my enzo jacket, which is already a robust leather jacket. The elbo pads tend to end up on my forearms but I think that's because of the construction or the fit of the jacket, not the pads themselves. I'm 5'11", 200 lbs, 44 chest, enzo jacket is a large and fits great, except for where the elbo pads fall.

I got into a bad crash few years ago and because I was wearing the proper gear it saved my life. The pads are very heavy duty and flexible. I use it in my Ronin jacket, getting the pads in can be somewhat a pain but once there in you can barley feel them (not bulky .

I've seen some reviews that complain that this armor should have already been included in the RSD jacket. Maybe, but make no mistake that the armor set is worth every penny and those jackets should be $90 more expensive if they include the armor.

The armor noticeably makes your jacket stiffer at first, but over time it will curve with the contours of your riding position. I barely notice them after a few days of riding. You'll always notice the extra weight though.

Great product. If you have an RSD jacket, you MUST buy this armor set.

I used this in my RSD Clash Jacket. I can barely tell the armor is inside. I definitely needed the elbow armor. The last time I went down I hit the asphalt at about 70mph and had to get an operation to reconnect my triceps tendons to my elbow. If I damage it again I will not be able to use it. I haven't crashed with my new jacket yet. If I survive my next crash I'll leave another review.

I bought this armor for my Roland Sands Clash Jacket and it's exactly as I expected. Low profile, fits perfectly in the jacket armor pockets. I can't really speak to how well it'll do in a crash (thankfully), but it achieves the look I wanted while still giving me a sense of protection.

Most people don't even realize my jacket is armored until they pat me on the back or shoulder haha.

I bought the back, shoulder and elbow armors separately as the pack was out of stock.

Im glad I did, as I had an a* set of protections from a Brass jacket and though of using them with my RSD Ronin jacket, but these have a slimmer profile, which make the jacket look utterly awesome and not moto at all when off the bike.

Really flexible and comfortable, I hope I never get to test the Forcefield technology behind the previously mentioned benefits.

lol...GET THIS ARMOR! it saved my spine in a crash, and possible further damage to my shoulder, and saved my elbow. these are great!!!!! 5 out of 5 stars +1.
