Protection You Forget You Are Wearing
Strap-on knee pads slide down, bulky armour gets hot and stiff, and most riders end up leaving it at home. These base-layer pants have flexible impact pads built in at the knees and hips, so the protection sits right where you need it and disappears under your normal riding pants or shorts.
What it is
Lower-body protection without external armour
These are close-fitting base-layer pants with CE Level 2 rated impact pads at the critical zones of the lower body. Wear them under your MTB pants, shorts or riding pants instead of strapping on separate pads.
The four-way-stretch fabric gives a secure, compression-style fit and keeps air moving, so you stay protected without heat, bulk or restricted movement.
- Built-in knee and hip pads: no straps, nothing to slide out of place.
- Flexible pads: move naturally with your body.
- Breathable mesh: lets heat and moisture escape.
- Secure fit: stays in place while you ride.

Between two sizes? Go for the bigger one. The fit is meant to be close to the body, like a compression layer.
The pads
Soft until the moment you need them
The pads are made of viscoelastic, high-density PU foam. While you ride they stay soft and flexible and move with your body. On impact they harden instantly and absorb most of the energy of the hit.
A three-point foam design keeps them flexible for pedalling, standing and crouching, so protection never costs you movement.
- CE Level 2 rated pads (EN 1621).
- Absorption ratio: 8.1 : 1.
- Flexible during movement, hard on impact.
On the trail
Pads that stay exactly where they should
A form-fitting elastic waistband and leg openings hold the pads in position. No shifting, no sliding and no constant adjusting mid-ride.
The base layer is light and low profile, so it disappears under your existing riding pants, shorts or jeans.

Questions people ask
Is it comfortable in hot weather?
Yes. The pants use a very breathable mesh that releases heat and moisture instead of trapping it against your skin.
Can I wear them under my normal riding pants?
Yes. They are minimal and low profile and disappear under your existing pants, shorts or jeans.
Which sports are they for?
They are designed for action sports such as mountain biking and motorcycle and dirt-bike riding, for riders who want lower-body protection without external armour.
How do I find my size?
Measure your waist and check your height in the size table above. Between two sizes, take the bigger one.

Machine wash cold and tumble dry on low.
