Characteristics of the shells :
- Certification: Level 2 T+ T- 1
- Actual protection: The manufacturer does not give a figure. MotoCAP would have (source: advrider) measured an average of 18,9 kN for the elbow (standard: 20 kN on average, maximum 30 kN)
- Manufacturing: ?
- Advertised life span: ?
- Type of materials: Rigid vulcanized materials, does not adjust with body heat
- Ventilation : Very good
Comfort and comparison with other brands :
My opinion: Their main appeal is the combination of great coverage and great ventilation. Other than that the protection is a bit low, and the reviews below say they are not very comfortable.
For less ventilated but more protective (<12 kN), even more covering and half the price, it is interesting to look at SAS-TEC :
- Knees/elbows very large size: My article on SAS-TEC SC1/06EVO
- Shoulders, knees, elbows large size : My article on SAS-TEC SC1/EVO1, EVO2 and EVO3
And for shoulder and elbow protections that are just as airy, more protective (< 16 kN), a little less covering and half the price too, there are the Alpinestar Bio Air :

Feedback: Stiffness and unpleasant angles:
Seeflex is relatively stiff so if you’re used to d3O stuff (what Rukka uses), the Seeflex may feel like a brick although d3O isn’t exactly the least stiffest of all armor. — advrider ThrillSeeka
Feedback:
Rev’it’s choice of thin square edges for the molds can cause discomfort if pressed against tissue for prolonged periods - frequently cited in Revzilla reviews for the knee in particular — advrider cblais19
Feedback: Comparison with Alpinestars Nucleon Air and Forcefield Isolator 2:
Material is a hard rubbery compound similar to A* Nucleon Air, but has a slight bit more give to it when pressed hard. The shape is slightly larger then the coverage offered by the Forcefield protector, but that’s mainly due to a longer and very thin end piece. — advrider cblais19
Feedback: Special shape of the shoulder protectors:
Shoulder protectors from this line are among the most asymmetrical out there with wide scapula coverage, and are unlikely to fit most standard pockets. — advrider cblais19
Feedback: Compatibility with Dainese clothing:
An inmate reports that the elbow protectors are a perfect replacement for the Dainese hardshell/foam CE1 protectors. — advrider cblais19
