The new A-5 S V2 Youth Chest Protector is a Level 2 CE / UKCA certified detachable floating Polyhedron Hybrid Technology chest protector. With an adaptive viscoelastic Level 2 CE / UKCA certified back protector, Level 1 CE / UKCA shoulder protectors, and contoured bio-foam rib guards, the A-5 S V2 offers superb upper body impact protection, freedom of movement and ventilation.
On the inner side of the outer shell, the A-5 S V2 has a perforated impact grid which is both the second line of protection in the hybrid structure, and which offers enhanced airflow to reduce heat buildup under the protector. The dual-zone chest protector, while having a rigid central zone, has a flexible soft compound around the perimeter backed by a soft bio-foam padding which works as an adaptive system that molds to the chest. The central zone of the chest protector directly behind highly perforated impact grid is completely open to allow for maximum ventilation.
The new highly perforated Level 2 CE / UKCA certified back protector is constructed from a flexible and adaptive viscoelastic material offering superb ventilation and weight-saving properties.
The chest and back protectors are securely held in place via adjustable shoulder straps. Lower securement is via the easy-connect buckles and V-straps that also secures the rib guards in place. The V-straps spread the tightening force over a wider area of the back protector resulting in a more secure and comfortable fit. The rib guards offer additional coverage in critical areas.
The A-5 S V2 Youth Chest Protector features Level 1 CE / UKCA certified removable viscoelastic shoulder protectors mounted on a soft-touch foam padding and is attached to the main chassis with hook-and-loop patches. The elastic upper arm adjustment straps keep the shoulder protectors securely in place.
