The adaptive construction allows the protector to follow the body naturally while providing impact protection when needed. HexaFlow™ 3D Structure HexaFlow™ uses an engineered three-dimensional hexagonal structure to balance impact performance, ventilation, flexibility, and low weight. The design minimizes unnecessary bulk while helping air move through the protector during training and racing. Grip-On-Straps™ Adjustable shoulder straps use silicone-lined Grip-On-Straps™ to help keep the back protector securely positioned while allowing natural upper-body movement. The strap-based construction also eliminates the additional material of a full vest. 3-Point Velcro Belt & Belt-Connector™ The adjustable 3-Point Velcro belt provides support and helps hold the protector close to the body. Belt-Connector™ loops add adjustment options for a secure, personalized fit over or under layers. EN 1621-2 Level 2 Protection The protector is certified to EN 1621-2 Level 2 FB for full-back protection. SHRED also tests its protective performance at -10°C for use in cold conditions, making the HD construction well suited to winter sports and alpine ski racing.
