I've been trying to put a RST back protector in my Spada jacket, though the velcro opening is far too small to even get the replaceable foam out. Has anyone had a similar problem? There is just one opening into the back protector compartment and its only about 6 inches wide.

Thanks!

dont know about an rst protector but my forcefield one i had to bend to the point where i though it was going to damage it to get it in.

same size gap aswell by the sounds of it. just takes a lot of fiddling and a bit of cunning to get it in i found.

have you made sure its the right size slot for the back protector?

Yeah it's the right size, buddy. Cheers for the info though. Going to have another go, but I just can't understand why they make it so small!

You'll have to bend / roll the protector to fit it through. If it absolutely won't fit, just cut the lining to enlarge the hole, and then sew it back up if you can be arsed.

I've got that jacket. Thought it cost £89 when I bought it after the ride magazine recommendation a year or so ago. The rain cover is absolute crap. I've had a replacement and still the wax lining inside rubbed off.

Yep the openings for the armour are too small. They always are, but with careful bending you can get it out.

Managed to do it. Thought I was going to ruin the jacket though as the opening compartment is way too small. Really decent jacket for the money I think.
