FAQs

What is Level 2 protection?

Level 2 protection, according to EN 1621-1:2012 standards, means the armour has passed stricter impact absorption tests, allowing significantly less force to be transmitted through to the body compared to Level 1 protection.

Can I wash these protectors?

Yes, these protectors are washable. Hand wash in cold water with mild soap and air dry completely before use.

Are these protectors available in black?

Yes, SAS-TEC armour inserts are also available in black, in addition to this yellow variant.

What is the main advantage of SAS-TEC TRIPLEFLEX technology?

TRIPLEFLEX technology provides high flexibility and comfort due to the viscoelastic soft foam, while still offering excellent impact absorption that exceeds standard requirements.

How long will these protectors last?

With proper care and use, these protectors are designed for long-term durability. Replace them if they show signs of damage, significant deformation, or after a severe impact.

What does UKCA approval mean?

UKCA (UK Conformity Assessed) marking indicates that the product meets the UK's health, safety, and environmental protection standards, similar to CE marking for the European market.

Can I use these in my everyday jacket?

These are designed for motorcycle apparel with specific armour pockets. Ensure your everyday jacket has compatible pockets and is designed to accept this type of protective armour.

Troubleshooting

Armour feels stiff or inflexible

Viscoelastic foam may feel firmer in cold temperatures. Allow the armour to warm up to body temperature during wear; it will become more flexible.

Protector doesn't fit correctly in the garment pocket

Double-check the dimensions of your garment's armour pocket against the protector's dimensions (approx. 250 x 160 x 9mm). Some garments may require different sizes or shapes of armour.

Armour feels bulky under clothing

While designed to be flat, ensure the protector is inserted correctly with the flat side facing the body. If bulk persists, verify it's the correct size for the pocket and consider if a slimmer protector model might be suitable for your garment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These armour inserts are designed to replace existing protectors within motorcycle garments. Carefully open the dedicated pockets in your jacket or trousers, remove the old armour, and insert the SAS-TEC SC-1/KB2 protectors, ensuring they are correctly oriented and fit snugly within the pocket. The flat side of the protector should typically face the body for optimal comfort and protection.

Compatibility: While versatile, these inserts measure approximately 250 x 160 x 9mm. It is crucial to measure the internal dimensions of the armour pockets in your specific garment before purchasing to ensure a proper fit. They are designed for use in knee, shoulder, elbow, and hip areas. Check manufacturer guidelines for specific garment compatibility.

Care: To clean the protectors, hand wash them in cold water with a mild detergent. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Rinse thoroughly and allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight before reinserting them into your garment. Ensure they are fully dry to prevent moisture build-up.
