Motorcycle armor with excellent shock absorption and a comfortable fit – pairs perfectly with Pando Moto protective gear.
Premium motorcycle body armor for men
Pando Moto’s motorcycle armor is designed for men who want serious protection without compromising on comfort or mobility. Perfect for both daily commutes and long-distance rides, this modern body armor delivers impact protection where it matters most. The rider-centric design, modular protection, and advanced materials are engineered to dissipate crash forces and protect your joints in the event of an accident.
Designed for comfort, built for protection
Comfort is critical when it comes to motorcycle protection. Each component should be ergonomic, shaped to follow the body’s natural movement. This helps reduce fatigue on long rides, and helps ensure the chest armor, back protector, and shoulder, elbow, hip, and knee protectors stay in place when it counts.
Flexible, low-profile armor moves more naturally with the body, reducing friction inside the insert pockets and preventing bunching while riding. The shape of the armor can also help improve airflow, making the protectors suitable to wear year-round, across a wide range of climates.
CE-Certified impact protection
Quality motorcycle body armor is independently tested and certified under the European CE standards to ensure it can perform when it counts. During this process, the armor undergoes impact testing to measure how effectively it absorbs and disperses force during a crash. Based on that, each protector is then assigned a level.
- Level 1 armor is commonly found in lightweight or more flexible inserts, and is suitable for daily riding
- Level 2 armor offers a higher level of impact absorption, providing greater protection for high-speed or high-risk riding
For motorcyclists, the CE certification gives peace of mind, knowing that the armor has been proven to perform in real-world conditions.
Advanced armor materials
Modern motorcycle body armor is made using advanced materials that balance flexibility, durability, and impact resistance. D3O, SAS-TEC, and QUATROFLEX are prime examples of this, being used by Pando Moto to construct highly effective riding protection.
Motorcycle body armor that works with your riding gear
The body armor offered by Pando Moto is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing riding gear, adding a layer of shock protection to the tear and abrasion resistance the gear already has. Most of the armored riding jackets, motorcycle pants, and protective base layers include internal pockets that are sized to accept various armor inserts, making it easy to upgrade or change the protection as desired.
FAQ
What is the difference between CE Level 1 and CE Level 2 motorcycle body armor?
Level 1 armor meets the minimum CE impact protection requirements and is generally lighter and more flexible. CE Level 2 armor offers more impact absorption, suitable for bikers who want the highest protection, or who ride at higher speeds or in more demanding conditions.
Can motorcycle body armor be worn under regular clothing?
Low-profile motorcycle body armor can be worn under regular clothing, with the Pando Moto shoulder, knee, hip, elbow, and back protectors being perfect for use with motorcycle base layers.
How do I clean and maintain motorcycle armor inserts?
Your armor inserts can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild soap before being left to air dry. If you’re washing armored motorcycle apparel, be sure to remove the inserts first.
When should motorcycle body armor be replaced?
Motorcycle armor should be replaced after a significant impact, even if there’s no visible damage. This is because the internal structure can be compromised. It should also be replaced if there are signs of wear, cracking, deformation, or if they’re getting hard, as this can also reduce the effectiveness.
Do I need motorcycle body armor if my jacket already has padding?
Jacket padding is more about comfort than protection, and won’t do much to dissipate force in an accident. Upgrading to CE-certified motorcycle body armor significantly improves protection, which is important given the inherent risk of motorcycling.
