iXS Hex Upper Body Protective Jacket Black, S/M

What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I've ridden park laps and technical enduro stages in this, and it strikes a solid balance between protection and comfort. The hard shell slides instead of grabbing when you hit the ground, and the hex panels absorb impact without feeling bulky. I like that it zips on easily and stays put all day."When the trail turns steep and speeds pick up, we commit fully-and that means trusting our protection. The Hex Upper Body Protector from iXS is built for those high-consequence lines where confidence changes everything. Whether we're charging bike park laps or threading through rocky enduro sections, it lets us ride aggressively without feeling weighed down. A low-friction outer shell is designed to glide across dirt and rock during a slide, reducing snag points, while the 3D hexagonal HexMatter structure works to absorb and disperse impact energy. Certified protection covers the back, chest, shoulders, and elbows, with Level 2 protection at the back and Level 1 at key impact zones. The ventilated mesh chassis and full-length center zipper keep airflow moving and make it easy to layer under a jersey, so we stay comfortable from first chair to last lap.
