FXRG Body Armor?

I've got a couple of Harley jackets that have pockets for body armor and I was wondering if I had to use the Harley light weight armor or not? Their pads don't really instil much confidence and the description says they're supposed to fit in anybodys jacket so I figured it would work the other way as well? Does anybody have any recommendations for elbow/ shoulder pads that will fit or should I just get the harley ones?

thanks

Just get the Harley ones. They all cost about the same and offer the same protection.

Cortech fit in my mesh jackets and it's much sturdier. It's the same as tourmaster Armor. But good luck on getting any, the kits for both brands have been sold out everywhere I've looked.

Got mine from leatherup.com

They fit my Harley leather jacket nicely and they were cheap.

The Harley armor is better than you think. It is CE rated.

Thanks guys. I'm not opposed to the Harley armor I just wanted to make sure there weren't any better options first.
