Protectors for motorcycle clothing
Today, everything that is called 'motorcycle clothing' is standard equipped with the necessary protectors. Depending on the brand and/or price range, a number of them can be optional. Especially back protectors in jackets and hip protectors on pants are often not present, or they consist of foam rubber.
A second possibility is that you yourself opt for a higher level of protection or specifically prefer a more comfortable protector. More flexible, thinner, thicker ... there are possibilities.

Protection levels
All protectors sold as such must be CE-approved. Without this, we don't call them protectors.
There are two types of certification:
- EN 1621-X : 2014 for back protectors.
- EN 1621-X : 2012 for knee, elbow, shoulder and hip protectors.
Instead of the X, there is a number which indicates the protection level. This level (1 or 2) is determined by means of a test: five kilograms are dropped on the protector from a distance of one metre. Underneath the protector the residual force (kN) is measured. The lower this number, the better.
Level 1 stands for a residual force of 35kN, at level 2 the residual force may not be higher than 20 kN.
