Its key benefit is the advanced D3O® armor, which offers CE-level coverage and absorbs impacts effectively across various temperatures, while remaining flexible.

FAQs

What is D3O® armor?

D3O® is a special material that is soft and flexible in its normal state, but locks together on impact to absorb and dissipate energy, reducing the force transmitted. It remains flexible in all temperatures.

Is this vest machine washable?

No, the vest should not be machine washed. The armor inserts must be removed, and the vest body should be hand washed with mild soap and cold water, then air dried.

What level of protection does the back protector offer?

The central back protector is CE EN1621-2 Level 2 certified.

Can I wear a neck brace with this vest?

Yes, the vest is designed with neck brace compatibility in mind. The central back protector has a removable insert to accommodate most neck braces.

What material is the main body of the vest made from?

The main body is made from a moisture-wicking, breathable, and form-fitting stretch fabric, often a blend including polyester, with strategically placed open stretch mesh for ventilation.

Is this vest suitable for all types of riding?

This vest provides significant impact protection and is well-suited for high-impact sports like motocross and downhill mountain biking. It is designed for adult riders.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The vest should fit snugly against your body without being overly constricting. Ensure you can move freely, and the adjustable straps help secure it in place. Refer to sizing charts if available.

Troubleshooting

Vest feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Use the adjustable straps to fine-tune the fit. If the size is incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.

Armor inserts feel stiff in cold weather

D3O® armor's flexibility can be affected by extreme cold. Wear the vest for a few minutes before activity to allow body heat to warm the armor, increasing its pliability.

Vest is not drying properly

Ensure all armor inserts are fully removed before washing. Allow adequate time for air drying, and ensure the vest is not exposed to direct heat, which can damage materials.

Zipper is difficult to close

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Ensure the zipper track is clean.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides high-level impact protection with D3O® technology.
  • Maintains excellent flexibility and range of motion.
  • Effective moisture-wicking and breathability for comfort.
  • Designed for a secure and adjustable fit.
  • Armor is removable for easy cleaning.

Cons

  • No protective gear can guarantee complete prevention of injury.
  • May feel restrictive for some users despite flexible armor.
  • Only offers Level 1 chest protection, which may be insufficient for certain impact scenarios.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the vest is the correct size for a snug but comfortable fit.
  2. Fasten the articulated YKK front zipper.
  3. Adjust the elastic straps for a secure fit around the torso.

Compatibility:

The vest is designed to be compatible with most neck braces, facilitated by the removable insert in the central back protector. It is intended for adult riders and is generally compatible with standard riding apparel.

Care:

  1. Remove Armor: Carefully remove all D3O® armor inserts from the designated pockets for both the chest and back protectors.
  2. Washing: Hand wash the vest body fabric using mild soap and cold water. Avoid using harsh detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners.
  3. Drying: Lay the vest flat to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or dry clean.
  4. Reassembly: Once completely dry, reinsert the D3O® armor into their respective pockets.
