Description

Built for aggressive mountain biking on rocky trails, the A-Impact Plasma Elite Shield Knee Protectors combine Nucleon PLASMA and a TPU shell for knee impact protection while supporting natural movement on the bike.

Key Features

• The Nucleon PLASMA element in the knee protector is constructed from a bio-based viscoelastic impact-absorbing compound, with no less than 25% bio-based content and molded into a precision-engineered geometry. While the PLASMA material dissipates impact energy and significantly reduces transmitted forces through controlled material response, the low-profile PLASMA geometry is specifically developed to compress and extend with movement while supporting airflow through its channeled and highly-perforated design.
• Over-injected TPU shell for added protection when impacting against rocks.
• Extra padding around the inner and outer knees offers additional coverage.
• Comfort liner provides a soft feel contact against the skin, offering a firm compression fit and soft tissue support, as well as preventing material bunching.
• Dual strap closure system specially designed to offer improved comfort and adjustment for a personalized ergonomic fit.
• Silicone printing on the inner liner prevents the protectors from being displaced while riding.
