CE Level 1 Back and CE Level 2 Elbow & Shoulder Armor Pads

In this review the BORLENI 5-PC armor pad set is judged on fit, comfort and real-world protection for everyday riders. The set includes a CE Level 1 back protector plus CE Level 2 shoulder and elbow pads, and its single biggest selling point is the memory foam construction that remains soft during normal use yet hardens on impact for energy dissipation. Riders who want replaceable, breathable inserts for a motorcycle jacket will find this set a practical upgrade to factory pads.

Key Features

• CE Certified protection: The set combines one CE Level 1 back protector with CE Level 2 shoulder and elbow pads to meet established impact standards for jacket inserts.
• PU memory foam construction: The soft memory foam conforms comfortably to the body during normal movement and stiffens on impact to absorb energy.
• Low temperature performance: Materials are tested to remain functional down to -20C (-4F), maintaining flexibility in cold conditions.
• Lightweight and breathable: The pads allow air circulation to reduce heat build-up so the jacket stays cooler on longer rides.
• Water resistance and durability: The foam has good water resistance and a delicate lightweight build that holds up well inside jacket pockets.
• Ergonomic and flexible: The pads bend freely for comfort and freedom of movement while providing coverage of vital areas.

Who It's For

The BORLENI armor set is aimed at riders who already own a motorcycle jacket with removable pockets and want to upgrade the protection without changing the jacket. It is especially useful for daily commuters and sport riders who value a balance of impact resistance and low weight rather than race-spec hard armor.

Riders seeking hard, bulky race level plates or a full standalone back protector system should look elsewhere; this set is designed as jacket inserts and prioritizes comfort and breathability over extreme bulk. Also check sizing of your jacket pockets because some users reported the pads are a little small for oversized compartments.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Comfortable memory foam fits easily into jacket pockets and feels lightweight during rides.
• High protection-to-weight ratio as the material stiffens on impact to dissipate energy effectively.

• Good build quality and water resistance give lasting performance in varied conditions.

Cons

• Some customers find the pads slightly small for larger or non-standard armor pockets.
