The Pro Rugged 2 Elbow Pads are all about achieving a harmonious balance of flexibility and protection. After all most of the time you'll be moving and manoeuvring your bike, so need easy mobility - but when it all goes wrong you want reliable protection too. Triple-Layer Protection This balance is achieved via G-Form's 3-layer construction system. On the inner layer, against your skin, G-Form uses soft foam, providing all-day riding comfort. Next comes the mid-layer. This uses impact-absorbing SmartFlex Technology (more about that below) to soak up the damaging forces when you crash without compromising flexibility. Lastly the DuraTX outer provides extra durability, resisting tears or catches from overgrowth on the side of the trails. SmartFlex Technology These pads feature SmartFlex to give you highly flexible protection. The hinge-like design allows for more natural movement, freeing you up to move and manoeuvre across any trail without feeling restricted. In the event of a crash, this flexible material hardens upon impact, soaking up the impact forces to boost safety and protection. Comfort Built-in The Pro Rugged 2 Elbow Pads aren't just protective though. They're comfortable too. The ventilated mesh zones keep you feeling cooler and drier while the double-knit compression fabric gives a snug and secure fit. You'll also find an updated gripper, the extra-wide shape offering a better fit than previous versions. Created to meet the needs of more aggressive mountain bikers who love the adrenalin rush of fast descents and the demands of long climbs, the Pro Rugged 2 Elbow Pads will see you riding any trail brimming with confidence.
