TSG - Kneeguard Tahoe Zip A

HIGHLIGHTS

AMPLIFIED SOFTSHELL CONSTRUCTION: Softshell look and feel but Hardshell performance. A thin and flexible pierce-proof insert inside the pad on top of the multi-impact soft foam secures the foam and your joints from crushed rocks or other sharp objects. This is the best choice when you want comfortable soft but reliable impact protection. Available in 4 sizes: S, M, L, and XL.

ACF IMPACT FOAM: ACF (Arti-Lage Foam) is engineered to mimic the physical structure of human cartilage with molecular freeflow technology. Flexible and soft in the normal state but when met with impact the molecules in ACF form a hard, protective shell. The remaining impact energy is converted into barely noticeable heat before it can reach the body.

PRE-SHAPED DESIGN & HORSESHOE SHAPE: The pre-shaped body protection comes with a pre-bended articulated design for unrestricting wearing comfort and superior fit. The custom Horseshoe shape that greatly surrounds knees, elbows or shoulders. The compression-moulded foam pad with a raised top part sits perfectly around your protected joints. This shape minimizes shifting and down-sliding to keep your pad in place during action.

CERTIFIED PROTECTION: The protection pad is certified for European standard for motorcyclist protective clothing, harmonised for mountain biking. A thin and flexible pierce-proof insert inside the pad on top of the soft foam secures the foam and your joints from sharp objects. Insert removable for most products. Strong abrasion-resistant fabric offers great resistance against wear and is used in areas prone to high abrasion. Extremely durable but still light and flexible. Foam padded side walls offer additional coverage. 

COMFORT & FIT: A thin and flexible pierce-proof insert inside the pad on top of the soft foam secures the foam and your joints from sharp objects. Insert removable for most products. A NBR neoprene stripe at the inner top of the pad supports an anti-slip fit, keeping the pad in place during action. The 360° strap wraps around the whole limb offering superior fit adjustment, wearing comfort and protection.
