The sleeves are super low profile, compact, and highly vented to maximize comfort under the jersey, and feature a cool graphic for those that choose to wear it alone in warmer temperatures. The Bionic Tech Youth Jacket is a super comfortable and highly protective jacket thanks to its low profile, ultra-lightweight, and highly ventilated design. The use of Polyhedron Hybrid Technology results in the Bionic Tech Youth Protection Jacket being one of the lightest, most ventilated, and most protective protection jackets in its class. The dual-zone chest protector has a rigid central zone, with 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 via place adjustable shoulder straps. Lower securement is actioned via the easy-connect buckles and V-straps that also secure the rib guards in place. The V-straps spreads 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.
