【POWERAGE】PA-526 Inner Protector PORON (R) Shoulder/Waist Review

Maybe I don't need shoulders.

The same is true for all parts, but the shape tends to float, so it may not be suitable for those who chose the Power age because it does not look like a MotorcycleJacket.

PJ-20301 I used it on WaterBlockAll seasonsParka and I am glad I bought it because this one doesn't float much.

Quantities at the waist and shoulders:I purchased 2 Sets, but do shoulders strike when falling over? I don't think the shoulder is enough to upgrade. View detail

Thin. Comfortable. Dependable.

Includes use of this product on shoulders, elbows, back, and knees, and therefore includes use of other than this product (shoulders).

Was the one you received as per Image?
It is a product that is usually found in Motorcycle supply stores and is the Image, or rather, the actual product.
Rarely there is such a thing as a tester that can drop an iron ball alongside the Material's PORON and general ProtectorMaterial.

[How did you feel about the Fit?
It is not so thick as Jacket Insertion Type, and the material is like Sponge with a little hard filling, and it is good because it bends well along the Jacket and shoulder due to GunGun bending as shown in the attached image.

How was your experience with it?
Duration of use:anywhere from January to April 29, 2017 to now. since the YZF-R25.
Distance used:probably about 70,000 km.
Jacket:Rough AndRoad (Rough Parka etc.), KUSHITANI (Expand Amenite Jacket, Winter Amenite Jacket)
Bag used:One Shoulder type

Started using it as a replacement for RoughAndRoad's hard plastic system.
The "Jacket Insertion Type" is not as strong as the "Jacket Insertion Type".
If it was inserted in the Denim pants, the Protector is so good at hiding it that the instructor has to touch it during the Large-type training to confirm that it is in there.
Unlike the Hard Type, the Bag can be hung on top of the Protector.
The material is like a hard sponge, so it may be load-dispersing when hung from the top. (Actually, it is unknown).
As a Protector, I have never experienced a fall, but I have never felt pain when I bumped into the place where it was placed.
It is much more secure than the flimsy Soft Type.
It is lighter, more trackable, and less conspicuous than the hard type. Therefore, it is thought to be useful in reducing fatigue.
The yellow-colored PORON section still crumbles and immediately returns when strongly gripped, suggesting that its elasticity has not decreased.
Because of its good tracking performance, it is even easier to feel the ease of movement when used with inner-integrated products (such as KUSHITANI's Active series).

[Was there anything that disappointed you?
No defensive rating because no falls have occurred.

What are the specs of the product, such as protector?
The material can be used for POWERAGE, Rough AndRoad, and KUSHITANI jackets that we originally handled, and even if it does not fit into a jacket, cutting and processing is considered to be easy.
The yellow shock-absorbing PORON is sandwiched between a smooth black with Logo fabric and a fluffy black fabric.
It seems to be possible to use the Large portion for jackets and innerwear, except in cases where the shape is clearly different, such as in urbanism, as seen in stores.

How did it compare to other products?
Compared to the PlasticHard series, it allows the body to move freely.
The load on the body may be the same as that of the Hard Type, or perhaps even smaller, when only one contact with the ground, such as a standing fall, is required.
In the case of a fall involving contact with the ground after a fall, such as a fall while driving, and movement such as spinning or sliding, the protection is probably inferior to that of the Hard Type.
It is likely that this product will chip away faster than Plastic if it is subjected to a load that causes it to rub against the ground.
When he fell while riding in a hard type, his jacket was torn and the plastic part of the protector was also shaved off, but his clothes and body underneath were safe.


It is thought to be an option for use with equipment that does not appear to be Motorcycle equipment, which has been increasing recently, or when the purpose is not to run, but to move freely after running, but it is troublesome to take it off and move as it is.
A recommendation for those who don't want to be hindered in their movements but don't want to give up their defenses. View detail

For those who don't want to compromise on thinness, flexibility and protection.

This product is like a high density Urethane sponge.
It's a little heavier than the Protector that comes standard with the Jacket, but it's only about 7mm thick and soft, so you won't feel the presence of it when you actually wear it.
However, the Protector's silhouette will stand out when combined with a thin mesh jacket.
I was able to improve this one by rolling it up and stopping it with Rubber Band and leaving it for a while to form a habit.
Fortunately, I haven't had any accidents that require Protector yet, so I can't comment on its protective performance, but I think I can expect it to be good enough when I try to hit it lightly. View detail

In keeping with the new Jacket

I bought it because Protector was not attached to Jacket of KUSHITANI which was renewed.
Light, thin, soft Protector. I do not mind wearing it does not change even if it is attached to Jacket. Although it may seem to be for Sporty Jacket because of high protection performance, it is also recommended for city ride Jacket because the style does not collapse.
Where to pay attention to Size is Large, so it was Limit to Pocket. It is not written in the item description, but the shoulder - Elbow is Quantity : 1 Set of 2pcs. is. View detail
