D3O offers the “thinnest and most advanced protection” against impact. D3O shells combine both safety and ergonomics to let you be confident while descending and comfortable during climbing. The back protector sits in the right position to protect the spine and stays low enough to avoid any push-up effect that might interfere with the jersey collar or a full-face helmet.
Soft body pads allow for a unisex fit and improved breathability. The shoulder protection sits further back in order to be “perfectly in place” when in riding position, and can be removed if necessary.
The Bluegrass Armour Lite is the “perfect choice” for riders who prefer lighter gear under their jersey.
