Riding steep and technical trails and speeding along downhill tracks is a real test of your mountain biking skills, and it can, at times, see you unceremoniously ejected from your bike. And when that happens, the AirFlex Chest Protector is essential should you go over the bars and land face first. In the event of a fall, the Aiflex gel pads absorbing the forces of the impact, reducing the effects on your body. The gel pads can also take impacts time and again without losing effectiveness. The chest protector also features the BraceOn neck brace fitting system. This makes it easier to pair with a neck brace, ideal for when you want maximum protection on the toughest and fastest trails. Comfort is a key feature too. The slim design is ergonomically correct, ensuring you don't feel restricted as you take to the trails. Ventilation is also carefully considered, with both the gel pads, outer shell and base enjoying plenty of ventilation slots to maintain cool airflow.
