Strengths:
It's comfortable
Weaknesses:
It doesn't protect you from bruises or scratches apparently.
Similar Products Used:
Nothing this wussy
Bike Setup:
a beefy Moto 4
Bottom Line:
I was wearing a long sleeve t-shirt outside of the pads and I still ended up getting a huge bruised elbow with scratches !?!?!
My shirt wasn't ripped either, I don't really understand what happened, but I know that if I had some external plastic armor pads that this wouldn't even have been an issue.
They are comfortable, but the d3o offers zero protection.
