Hi.

I have an Akito V-Force leather jacket and it's missing the right side shoulder armor. I think my 2 little boys have been messing with the jacket and pulled it out and lost it.

Does anyone know if it's possible to get another or if i will have to take the left one out and just use the jacket with no shoulder protection?
I would leave it in but it doesnt fit properly with only 1 side in Sad

Yes you can, but companies tend to sell them in pairs £10-£15 can get you some knox or HG ones. Its as simple as undoing velcro and pulling it out.

Ok that's not too bad. Are they universal though?

If you pull out the remaining shoulder one you should be able to see if you can buy a new one, just tap in knox armour inserts, they are usually the same shape and size HG hiprotech ones are funny rubberythings which are a fair bit wider.

While the older style knox ones are more like foam insert things, you should be able to find one which fits.... that actually reminds me I have to put my hiprotech's back into my leather pants. Though I actually use hard armour because I prefer it.
