This sheet summarizes the information I was able to glean on the net about the SAS-TEC SC1/EVO 1, 2 and 3 level 2 protective shells.
Synthesis: Excellent protection (50% above standard), great joint coverage, low weight, decent ventilation, and reasonable price.

Comfort and comparison with other brands :
My personal experience with various SAS-TEC shells (SC1/06 EVO, SC2/07) indicates that their viscoelastic is very soft, adjusts quickly to body temperature, and does not get hot.
The flexibility, texture and fit are superior to the D3O in my opinion.
cblais19 on advrider says he finds the Knox Micro-lock more comfortable.
SAS-TEC says that most competitive hulls can’t handle more than 60°C while his can handle up to 100°C.
Motorcycle Gear Hub says they seem to handle cold and heat as well as Forcefield’s.
Feedback: Comparison with Knox Micro-lock L2:
The softest high protection (CE2) armor I’ve found is the Knox MicroLock. It’s more pliable then Forcefield, SasTec, or D3O; and has a softer feel when joint pressure is applied. — advrider cblais19
