The iXS Hex Pull-Over Chest Protector trims coverage down to the back and chest, built from a low-friction outer layer over an impact-absorbing hexagonal shell. It's independently certified for chest and back impact protection, so the reduced bulk doesn't come at the cost of real safety. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I forget I'm wearing it on the climbs, which is exactly the point of going pull-over instead of a full jacket. When I went down on loose rock, the hard shell let me slide instead of catching, so I got up and kept riding."
