Does any one have experience of the effectivness of the one like mine just sat in holder in the jacket and will these stay in place in a accident??
You need to check that mate - a lot of the time they come with just a thin bit of foam that will do quite literally sod all in an accident, its very rare that they come with a proper piece of hard amour in there.
Personally I wear a jacket with an inbuilt protector (although its removable), but that's because I take my jacket off a lot and don't want to have to walk around wearing a piece of armour. As when I'm planning on some fun i zip my trousers to my jacket, its a very snug and comfortable fit, and doesn't move around at all.
My best mate wears one of the seperate ones, but he only really uses his bike for fun now so walking around in a piece of armour isn't really an issue for him.
Just depends what you want really!
