Product Information
Full details
The RST X D3O T5 Evo X Hip Protector is designed for motorcycle riders seeking reliable impact protection without compromising comfort or mobility. Utilizing advanced D3O T5 Evo X technology, this protector remains soft and flexible during normal riding but instantly hardens upon impact to safeguard your hips. While it provides critical EN1621-1:2012 Level 1 protection, it is important to note that these inserts are designed specifically for compatible RST apparel pockets and may not fit perfectly in non-branded riding gear.

FAQs
What does EN1621-1:2012 Level 1 mean?
This is an international safety standard confirming that the armor provides a specific level of impact force reduction, making it suitable for standard street riding.
Can I use these in non-RST trousers?
While they may fit other garments, they are engineered specifically for RST gear. Check if your trousers feature similar sized armor pockets.
Do I need to replace the armor after an accident?
Yes, if the protector has been subjected to a significant impact, it should be inspected for structural damage or deformation and replaced if compromised.
Is the material breathable?
The open-cell structure of the D3O material allows for a degree of airflow, contributing to overall comfort during warm weather rides.
How should I store my gear with these protectors installed?
Store your trousers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the polymer.
Troubleshooting
Protector feels bulky or shifts out of place
Verify the armor is fully inserted into the designated pocket and check if the trouser's internal Velcro or retention strap is secured.
Armor feels stiff in very cold weather
D3O materials may become slightly stiffer in freezing temperatures; allow the gear to warm up with body heat for a few minutes before riding to restore full flexibility.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Flexible and comfortable for all-day riding
- High-performance impact energy dispersion
- Lightweight construction does not add unnecessary weight
- Certified safety performance across different temperatures
Cons
- Specifically tailored for RST compatible pockets
- Level 1 protection may not meet the needs of all high-speed track riders
- Requires specific garment compatibility for proper fitment
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, simply locate the hip protector pocket inside your RST trousers and slide the insert in with the contoured side facing outward. Ensure the protector is seated fully at the bottom of the pocket to maintain correct alignment with the hip joint. For care, avoid using harsh chemicals or industrial detergents. If the armor requires cleaning, wipe the surface gently with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat sources. Never machine wash or tumble dry the protectors as this can degrade the polymer structure.
