John Doe body armour at Moto Central includes XTM Air and Air Pro protectors for the back, hips, knees, elbows and shoulders, alongside John Doe kidney belts. The inserts come in different shapes, dimensions and impact levels, so the brand name alone is not enough to establish compatibility with a particular jacket, shirt or pair of riding jeans.
Match the stated dimensions and any large or standard designation to the garment pocket. A protector should lie flat, close securely and remain centred in a riding position.
The current knee and multi-position joint protectors include A and B formats. They differ in shape and coverage, so use the code and dimensions specified for your garment rather than treating them as interchangeable.
John Doe offers both impact levels across the live range. The level is a performance classification for the named protector, not a statement about the abrasion or seam performance of the complete garment.
The leather and textile kidney belts are support accessories. They should not be described as substitutes for a full back protector unless the exact product carries a relevant impact approval.
Insert the protector in the orientation shown by John Doe, fasten the pocket and try the complete garment while seated on the motorcycle. Knee and elbow pads should remain over the joint through its normal range of movement. Hip and back inserts should not fold or create pressure points. Remove protectors before washing the garment when the care instructions require it, and inspect them after an impact or if the material becomes damaged or permanently distorted.
Moto Central groups the live John Doe formats and levels together, making it easier to compare part names, dimensions and intended body areas before ordering. Riders comparing other systems can browse back protectors, knee protectors and hip protectors.
Only if John Doe identifies that exact combination as compatible. The shapes and coverage differ, and the pocket must hold the protector correctly.
No. It describes the impact protector. Complete motorcycle garments use separate standards and classifications.
No. Match the product code, dimensions and body-area designation to the garment or pocket you own.
