Performance breakdown
Impact Protection
VPD compound hardens on impact, offering impressive defense for soft armor.
Pedaling Mobility
Unrestricted range of motion makes these feel like a second skin.
Breathability
Lightweight, ventilated construction keeps arms cool on long, sweaty climbs.
Fit Security
Neoprene grippers and retention straps keep pads locked during aggressive riding.
Low-Profile Design
Slim enough to disappear completely underneath a standard riding jersey.
Durability
Reinforced fabric holds up well, though soft armor wears faster than hardshell.
