Protection You Forget You Are Wearing
Most body armour is hot, bulky and slides around once you start riding. This short-sleeve base layer puts flexible impact pads at your shoulders, chest and back into a light, breathable shirt that sits snug under your jersey. The pads stay soft while you ride and harden the moment you hit the ground.
How the pads work
Soft while you ride, firm when you crash
The pads are made of viscoelastic, high-density PU foam. While you ride they bend and move with your body, so they never hold you back. On impact the foam hardens instantly and spreads the force.
A 3-point foam design keeps them flexible through every movement. The pads are CE certified to the EN 1621 standard, up to Level 2, and the maker rates them to absorb 89% of impact energy, with an absorption ratio of 8.1:1.
Good protection lowers the risk of injury in a fall; no gear can prevent every injury.

The shirt is made to fit snug, like a compression layer. Between two sizes? Take the bigger one.
Stays cool
Breathable enough for hot days
The shirt is made of an ultra-breathable butterfly mesh, a light performance base layer that lets heat and moisture escape instead of trapping them against your skin. Its moisture vapour transmission rate is over 15,000 g/m² per day.
That is why you can wear it under your jersey or riding jacket without overheating, even on hot days.
Stays in place
A snug fit that does not slide
The four-way-stretch fabric fits close to your body, so the pads stay exactly where they should. No shifting, no sliding down your arms and no constant adjusting mid-ride.
It is minimal and low profile, so it disappears under your existing riding gear.
