Where to buy armor? - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Hi,

I just bought my riding jacket a couple of weeks ago, and felt as though I was smart about it. It had all the features I was looking for, leather, vents, tapered sleeves, reflective piping on the back, zip out liner, pockets for CE armor, and it was on sale.

It has since occurred to me that I don't know where to get armor from. I googled around a bit, but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I've found armor that appears to be for specific jackets. Is armor usually for specific jackets, or have I been fooled by marketing?

Thanks for your input on this important safety consideration.
