I’ve previously covered Held Exosafe by D3O Back Protector along with several other Held D3O protectors. Recently, I had the opportunity to handle the Richa D3O Viper Stealth back protectors as well, and I wanted to share my observations. My intention wasn’t to conduct a direct comparison—originally, I was looking for a back protector with a different shape for a jacket I ultimately didn’t purchase—but given the limited visual references available, it seemed useful to present this side-by-side perspective. Before diving into the details, a few words about D3O.
