Genuine Furygan D3O Ghost Level 2 Shoulder/Lumber (hip) protectors
I have recently purchased a new set of motorcycle jeans with level 2 protection on the hips and knees. The problem is, they are the standard bulky foam version. Although they are level 2 which is the best you can get, they are massive once situated within the jeans themselves. Time for an upgrade. I looked around a lot for smaller protectors but with less bulk and came across the Furygan D3O Ghost. Wow, these were definitely the ones for me. Having checked around on Webike website, they do actually stock these and not only for the Furygan brand either but these will be perfect for my needs. The price of them was really good value and slightly cheaper than I could source locally. With the other part of this upgrade, ie, the knee/elbow protectors, I had them all shipped together. This saved on the cost and my chosen courier is EMS as always. They just get your order to you fast. They all arrived safely in 5 days from being shipped. They came in a nice Furygan box and were well packaged. The shoulder/lumber (hip) protectors do obviously have a dual purpose depending if you want to use them in jeans or a jacket. The protectors themselves are really strange when you first look at them, they have lots of small segments which are attached to a material backing. The flex of these are amazing. The only way I can describe them is like a sort of honeycomb that when you move them, they almost link upand this is where the prtection is. This is of course by design. They are extremely lightweight and once fitted, you would barely know they are there. Wow, these are the best upgrade to a pair of jeans/leathers that I believe you can get. Cannot wait to try these out on long rides. Thanks Webike for stocking so much to choose from. View detail
Genuine Furygan D3O Ghost Level 2 Knee/Elbow protectors
Along with wanting to change the hip protectors in these new jeans, I wanted the knee protectors too. The standard ones which come in the jeans I have bought are level 2 so pretty much the best you can get protection rating wise anyway. The problem is, with the being the standard foam style, they are really thick and a very rigid shape which does not always work so good on longer rides. So, having found these on Webike website along with the hip protectors too, I added them to the order. All shipped using my preferred courier which is EMS. My order arrived in 5 days from being shipped which works well for my schedule. The protectors were well packaged by Webike and they came in a Furygan box too. As with the hip protectors, these are the same style which is almost a honeycaomb design. You have to get these to believe just how thin they are, hence the title Ghost. They have mutliple segments and all attached to a material backing. The backing is a very strong fabric and keeps it's shape. The segments are some kind of poly rubber mix but are pretty flexible and very tough. They depth of each segment gets a a little thinner as you go from the centre of the protector to the egde. Of course this is a comfort design. Still holding on to the level 2 rating is excellent. My old knee protectors are big and uncomfortable where as these you almost forget you have them in. If you are tired of having massive and bulky protectors in either your jeans/leathers of jacket, I would seriouisly check D3O out. If only I had known about these years ago, I would have had a lot more happy/comfortable miles. Thanks Webike, great work. View detail
Combination of fit and protection
Quantity for Shoulder and for Elbow:Purchased as a set. I have used various protectors such as Included Parts of Wear:, Other Brand Product, Hard Type, Soft Type, and those that harden instantly upon impact, and this is one of the ones I like the most. The silhouette is not too large, which is another advantage. I am currently wearing it in my Thailandichi winter wear, but I think it would be less noticeable in a three season or mesh wear. I would love to see a version for the back as well. View detail
