I'm incredibly curious myself to know how they actually hold up after a crash as well, after all that other stuff it's really the only thing that matters. My next pair of pants will for sure be something of higher quality.

Some of the armor, like others said, fit quite loose in the pocket, so I used the old cheap foam ones they come with to make a sort of frame for each good armor piece to sit on, and duct taped them together to keep them from shifting around too much.

Always been curious about the motocross hard-shell armor, just not sure how to implement it with the other gear. Would it replace other CE2 armor, or supplement it? Like if you had that chest/shoulder piece, is that good enough quality to take out your back and shoulder pads in the jacket to make it lighter and easier to store?
