John Doe XTM Protector Ready systems with shoulder and elbow pockets are used across families such as Motoshirt, Aero Mesh Motoshirt, Explorer, Flight, Dexter and Drifter. John Doe riding trousers and jeans use knee pockets. However, pocket position alone does not confirm Type A fitment, because John Doe also supplies a larger Type B protector. Compare the original protector reference and pocket outline before ordering.
Size-system warning
Parts Europe and a UK distributor document A-SEK-A-1 at 22 x 13.5 cm measured along the curved shape, while another specialist distributor describes Type A as approximately 19.5 x 11 cm. Because the published dimensions conflict, select this protector by the exact A-SEK-A-1 reference and matching Type A pocket rather than dimensions alone.
Important distinction
This product is not knee-only despite the previous title. The same Type A pair may be used at the shoulder, elbow or knee where the garment pocket is designed for it. It is not a hip protector, back protector or complete garment, and it must not be substituted for the larger Type B version without checking the pocket.
Construction and care
- Flexible, anatomically pre-curved TPU construction
- Low-profile ventilated pattern
- Removable and hand washable
Fit each protector in the correct orientation and confirm that it remains centred over the intended joint while riding. Remove the protectors before washing the garment.
