The new generation of back protector - New for 2008.
Named after the mythological protective shield of Zeus, king of the Greek Gods, the new AEGIS back protector is the result of an intensive 12-month R & D programm. The 8-plate Race is designed for track use, with extra coccyx protection when crouched.
The new Aegis is 30% lighter and also a more refined shape and thickness than the previous Ricochet.
A system of flex channels allow it to sculpt around the back, making it more comfortable to wear under tight outer riding apparel.
The new Aegis is completely breathable with a superior air venting system for maximum air flow to keep riders cool.
The spine section articulates freely, moving with the rider but at the same time ensuring maximum protection is maintained in all positions.
A multi position waist strap system gives precision fitting. It ensures that the rider can fix the back protector in the correct position so it does not move upwards during use.
A new integral shoulder strap slider system allows the straps to adjust automatically to the correct position during use. Ensures a personalised comfortable fit at all times.
A fully adjustable and removable kidney section in soft PU gives added performance in this sensitive area.
Independently tested and approves to EN1621-2 Level 2, which is the highest rating possible under current EU testing regulations, so the wearer can have complete confidence.
Designed so that the spine section can be customised to create a personalised look for the wearer.
Optional Knox CE approved chest protector can be bought separately and fitted.
