Description
The SX-1 v2 Knee Protector helps reduce the risk and severity of a knee injury by preventing hypertension of the knee in the event of an accident. This lightweight yet strong protector features a poly-centric hinge system that allows natural articulation of the knee. The ergonomically sculptured knee protector is constructed from a semi-rigid high performance polymer for optimum levels of protection and flexibility, while the highly ventilated padding allows for superb airflow cooling. Correct positioning of the knee protector improves comfort, avoiding pressure points on the patella, and the Dual Strap System promotes a secure fitment of the protector in all riding positions and includes a combined buckle and hook and loop closure for rapid and easy mounting.
