SNPP Womens 2 in 1 Built-in Shoulder Pad Vest Body Shaper Shirt Undershirt Tank,Beige-S

Product Information

The protective padding is called Sas-Tec and is flexible in all directions; we found it flexed well with the body when riding. Sas-Tec is an expanded polypropylene foam with visco-elastic properties, which means it’s soft and flexy while riding but hardens in response to impact to absorb forces and offer protection. The padding layer is quite thin and this protection vest only offers a Level 1 protection rating. All body armour sold in the EU is certified to Level 1 or Level 2, which indicates the amount of force the padding can absorb. Enduro armour remains comfortable for riding, but features increased padding, while downhill armour has the biggest focus on protection.

CE Level 1 is rated to transmit a maximum force of 18kN, with no single value exceeding 24kN upon impact.

This panel is constructed from iXS’s own X-Matter material, which hardens on impact, but stays flexible on the body when warmed up. Ridge-like features allow it to bend and flex with the spine. Rated at EU Level 2, it’s designed to handle crashes at almost motor- rather than mountain bike speeds, yet doesn’t feel bulky.
