D3O Ghost Level 1 hip or shoulder armour set Product Information
D3O's Ghost armour was introduced into the company's range of protectors at the beginning of 2020. It does not work on the same basis as standard D3O armour, with a non-Newtonian fluid at the heart of its structure. But, the triangular grid structure of the armour absorbs energy in the event of an impact. Like all D3O armour it is highly flexible, and becomes more so as it absorbs the body's heat. But it hardens on impact. Ghost armour is particularly thin, however. It still meets the EN 16121 standard at Level 1, but because it is so light and flexible it is even more comfortable to wear than a standard D3O hip protector. The armour has been designed so that, in most instances, it will fit directly into the standard pockets that took the 'old' D3O protectors.
We also offer D3O Level 1 hip or shoulder armour with Velcro.
We now offer D3O Level 2 Ghost hip or shoulder armour.

Gill: Really slim and felxible hip armour
Very pleased with the hip armour. Slim. Flexible. Much more comfortable than my old, bulky, foam ones. The slots for them on my jeans were really tight and it was quite hard to get the armour slotted into them in a way theyd sit flat - but thats not any fault of the armour, just that the jeans manufacturers need to be better at leaving enough room! Now that I know how good the hip pads are, Im going to get the knee pads too.
Martin: Good Product
Fit is good but there is room for improvement to live up to the name ghost
Brian: Great material but disappointingly poor fit
See my review of the kneeelbow version of this product. The hip armour is too long for the pocket in the BMW trousers, which is a shame. Some more market research by D3O to get a better generic shape would mean this stuff should fly off Motolegends shelves!
