not so big on D3O to be honest. pricey and not as protective. properly designed multilayered armour is still going to be superior over D3O. not forgetting the fact that D3O provides mostly impact protection (still less than conventional type) and not all that much abrasion protection. meaning your jacket needs to provide that abrasion protection which is not all that easy when many people wear mesh for our hot weather....
the purpose of armour in impact protection is to spread the force over a larger area to which armour with inherent structural integrity is able to do. 3DO by its flexible nature introduce a set of unpredictability in the configuration at the moment of impact.
a lot of the layered armour has a plastic slider at the top which prevents things from digging in and potentially help it stay in place compared to a friction surface which might pull the armour to the side
So which you highly recommended?the purpose of armour in impact protection is to spread the force over a larger area to which armour with inherent structural integrity is able to do. 3DO by its flexible nature introduce a set of unpredictability in the configuration at the moment of impact.
