Protection and comfort are two concepts which are generally compromised. A protector may be efficient yet diminish comfort and mobility of the body. Thanks to the latest technology available in the field of Polyurethane foams, Slytech 2nd Skin eliminates this problem with a back protector ranked #1 in both protection and comfort. As the memory-cell-foam element is warmed up by one's body heat, it becomes extremely flexible and will follow all movements of the body. When not being worn, it returns to its original shape.
As pressure is slowly applied, the air inside the microstructure of the small bubbles is forced out of the foam, through the microholes on the surface, thus compressing the volume while increasing the protective density. In contrast, when quick sharp pressure is applied, the force of contact traps the air within the material maintaining the thickness, density, and most importantly the protective qualities of the padding.
Comfort, flexibility, and protection have finally been combined to the utmost level. Now during all riding conditions, the softness of Slytech 2nd Skin will allow the body to move and react free of constraints. And, if impact is to occur, it will act as an outstanding progressive shock absorber, adapting itself intelligently to different forces and speeds. All Slytech 2nd Skin protectors are certified to the highest levels achievable in accordance with the European Standard EN 1621-1. Level 2 for the Standard model.
Standard back protectors also transfer all forces integrally into the body during low energy impacts. Yet, with the Slytech 2nd Skin protector, the shock absorption increases proportionally and the body is protected thoroughly at any impact level. To keep the body completely free, flexible, and comfortable, there are no hard plastic components on the inside or outside of the protector. The belt, made of superior elastic material, has been manufactured to allow for maximum back support and the highest level of comfort.
