Endura MT500 D3O Protector Vest
Best lightweight protection for mountain bikers seeking all day comfort.
This vest strikes the rare balance between heavy-duty protection and all-day wearability. By using smart impact-absorbing material that stays flexible until you actually need it, you get essential torso coverage that disappears under your jersey without overheating or restricting your movement on technical descents.
