Double up on ce1 armor?

[brownie0486]

Opinions on whether doubling up the Revit ce level 1 seesmart armor would be beneficial [ and whether it might make a level ce2 by doing so ]. There's enough room in the pockets to do so.

I’ve done that (though not with the Rev-it brand).

As long as it fits properly and is comfortable what could it hurt?

Plus, as far as looks goes, it’s cheaper than a gym membership!

The revit seesmart is super thin rated ce1 for elbows and shoulders. I know there's room in the mesh pockets for a second set, and they're super flexible I don't believe they'd cause any issues with mobility/movement. Two sets of these wouldn't come close to the thickness of that styrofoam crap some jackets come with.

I think I'll order a second set for elbow and shoulders, cut them to same size or 1/4" shorter all around so they don't bunch up at the seems of the mesh pocket

I replaced the ce1 armour in my Klim jacket with ce2..less bulk than doubled up armour, same cost.
