Cairn Proride D3O Back Protector vest, mat black

Cairn Proride D3O Back Protector vest, mat black

The D3O material's properties can be briefly explained as follows: When the material is inactive, it is soft and flexible, which means it can bend and adapt to the shape of the body, providing maximum comfort. When the material receives an impact, the material becomes rock-hard and counteracts the impact you will receive from crashing or colliding with obstacles on the mountain. Also suitable as safety equipment when skiing, mountain biking/MTB or motorcycling.

The mesh/polyester mix that the vest is made of allows it to breathe and get rid of sweat and moisture, keeping it fresh throughout its lifetime. The vest's elastic mesh material at the front is soft and comfortable and ensures that the vest fits snugly to the body.

Additional features of the vest:
The D3O material (plate) can be removed when washing the vest.
Vest in extremely lightweight mesh material
Full-length zipper.
Extra padding in the shoulder area.
Meets the CE EN 1621-2 standard

D3O Shock Absorption System is a patented shock absorbing material based on an "intelligent" molecular structure. These molecules behave normally during normal movements and instantly lock together during shocks and impacts. D3O is motion-dependent. With slow changes, the molecules flow freely and the material remains soft and flexible. With a sudden shock or impact, the loose molecules lock together, dampening the force of the impact. The whole process happens extremely quickly. As soon as the shock is absorbed, the molecules return to their normal loose state again.

These properties make the material ideal for applications where optimal freedom of movement and shock absorption are required. D3O is an extremely discreet and lightweight material that can be integrated into the garment without compromising function and appearance.
