The first thing you’ll notice about the D3O Ghost armor is how impossibly thin it is. Thinner than most pancakes, in fact, at only 6.5mm. For a more objective reference: that’s a little shy of a stack of 4 quarters.

D3O accomplishes this by 3D printing it’s miracle orange material onto a die-cut sheet of Lycra. This allows the company to put the impact-absorbing magical (aka: non-Newtonian) material exactly where it needs to go, while leaving plenty of space to allow for flexibility and airflow.

Ghost armor an ideal upgrade for anyone with a pair of riding jeans, a riding shirt/"shacket," or even a proper jacket. Replacing your current armor (specs listed in product images) will yield a more comfortable and flexible armor setup without sacrificing protection, as the Ghost armor series is fully certified to exceed Level 1 impact absorption requirements.

The Ghost components will fit into most standard armor pockets. They contain a loop at the top for fastening a Velcro strap, but currently that would have to be a DIY job.
