Endura Mt500 D3O Protector Vest

D3O is a non-Newtonian material that stays soft and flexible while you ride, allowing for a full range of motion. Upon impact, the molecules lock together instantly to absorb and dissipate energy, providing a hard shell of protection before returning to its flexible state.

The vest is specifically designed with a low-profile, ergonomic chassis to fit closely to your body. It is intended to be worn as a base layer, so it should sit comfortably under most standard mountain biking jerseys without adding significant bulk.

Yes, the construction prioritizes airflow and moisture management. While it is a protective layer, the materials used are chosen to prevent overheating, making it suitable for all-day rides in technical terrain.

The MT500 D3O Protector Vest focuses primarily on back and torso protection. It is designed to shield the vital areas of your upper body while maintaining the flexibility needed for aggressive trail riding.

Yes, the D3O inserts are removable. This makes it easy to wash the vest chassis separately to keep your gear clean and fresh after muddy rides.
