All components are engineered to offer a highly reduced material construction for a garment that is extremely lightweight, slim, and highly ventilated. Technical elastane stretch mesh main construction is highly breathable and retains shape and structure while keeping protection plates close to the body when riding on undulating surfaces. It features a versatile and customizable fit with a removable upper back panel for compatibility with Bionic Neck Support (BNS). The plate design incorporates an innovative integrated grid structure which, during an impact, absorbs and dissipates the energy forces across its cellular structure. All panel shells (back, chest, elbows, and shoulder) are constructed from an injected polymer performance blend for optimized flexibility and excellent weight-saving properties. Plates are ergonomically contoured to follow the natural curvature of the body and feature air channeling to improve airflow and prevent heat build-up.
