The Shred Flexi Back Protector Lite is the definitive "naked" back protector, stripped of the vest carrier to provide the most lightweight and versatile protection possible. It is designed for riders who prefer a strap-on system that can be worn over a base layer or under a jersey, offering a minimalist feel with maximum safety. Features Slytech™ Shock Absorption: At its core is the proprietary Slytech™ foam, an "intelligent" material that stays soft and flexible while you move but hardens instantly on impact to absorb and dissipate energy. Flexi Geometry: The protector is engineered with a series of hexagonal cut-outs. This allows the guard to mold precisely to the shape of your back and flex in every direction, ensuring it doesn't hinder your range of motion during technical maneuvers. Streamlined Strap System: Unlike the vest versions, the "Lite" uses adjustable, low-profile shoulder straps and a wide, elastic waist belt. This setup provides a customizable fit and keeps the protector centered on your spine without the added bulk or heat of a full fabric vest. Super Slim Profile: Designed to be the thinnest protector in the Shred line, it’s virtually invisible under a shell or race suit, making it a favorite for competitive skiers and mountain bikers alike. Ventilation-First Design: The combination of the Flexi hexagonal structure and the open-strap design maximizes airflow, making it the coolest option for high-intensity days or warmer spring conditions.
