Using the same visco elastic memory found in our Flex knee and elbow pads the shoulder pads and spine protector can both be removed. The pocket for the spine protector will also take a 2-litre water bladder. Two angled pockets on each hip mean easy access to trails snacks, multi tools and a mobile phone. The larger central pocket is designed for larger items like a spare tube or a small packable jacket. 4-way stretch fabric means air is kept flowing to avoid overheating, with the compression fit sitting close to the skin making heat transfer as efficient as possible maintaining comfortable all day.
