Need replacement armour for wife's jacket - do local stores carry this stuff?

My wife has an older Joe Rocket Jacket which she likes - it's around 14yrs old and bought from Parker Brothers!

The armour in shoulder and what I think is either the forearm or elbow is crushed and completely broken in to bits. I think it's from trying to squeeze it into a saddle bag while we were out riding somewhere. Since the armour is crushed, I don't know the size of the armour to be able to easily replace it. I would be fine to upgrade the amour to D30 or something else that wuld fit inside the armour pockets of the jacket, but I'm not sure if these pockets are mostly similar in terms of their sizing and layout or if they vary greatly. I would prefer to bring the jacket in to a local shop and see if they sell armour than buy online.

Anyone know of stores in GTA that sell replacement armour?

Thanks!
 
I'd just order the d30 armour from fortnine. It should fit fine, but in the event that it doesn't, put it in your jacket.

I ordered the d30 back protector; it fit my joe rocket textile jacket just fine.

Maybe pull the armour out of yours and see if it fits in the wife's.

Shane, I think I have some spare D30 shoulder and elbow pads lying around. I'll double-check, but if I'm right, you can have them if you come pick them up. I'll PM you a bit later with details.
 
Not sure if Joe Rocket changed the shape of their armour over the year's, but here's a side by side for comparison of D30 from my Icon jacket and the armour out of my Joe Rocket hoodie.

Pretty close and the D30 is easily trimmed along the edges if needed. 20200606_110324.jpeg
 
GP also sells em, they actually replaced the pieces in store of my jacket while I continued shopping.
Back protector was on back order (heh) so that shipped to me later for free. All fit in my smaller Astars jacket no problem. Doing a check to see if your armor fits as noted above also sounds like a good suggestion.

Shane,

I have this armour from an older JR Alter Ego Jacket (Mens Small). The forearm/elbow is one piece.

You are welcome to it if you think it might be a good fit.

Thanks Robbo,

I took Matt's suggestion and tried to put the armour from an older Olympia jacket into hers and it did fit into the pockets, but seems large for the pockets. She'll try on the jacket when she comes home and if it doesn't fit her nicely, I'll take either you or Oomis up on your offers.

Thank you both again.
