Race Face Ruxton Core Protector

The Ruxton Core is designed as a base layer, so it fits best directly against your skin or over a thin moisture-wicking base layer. Its compression fit keeps the armor snug against your body, which helps prevent the pads from shifting during a crash.

The sleeves are attached via zippers, allowing you to quickly convert the long-sleeve jacket into a sleeveless vest. This is ideal for warmer days or shorter rides where you might want core and back protection without the extra heat of full arm coverage.

Yes, the reactive polymer padding is flexible while you're moving but hardens instantly upon impact. Combined with the mesh body and open armpit design, it stays breathable enough for long gravity sessions without feeling restrictive.

Cleaning is straightforward because all the impact-absorbing pads are removable. Once you take the pads out, you can machine wash the mesh garment itself to keep it fresh and odor-free.

Absolutely. It is CE certified and features comprehensive coverage, including the back, shoulders, elbows, and chest. It is specifically engineered for gravity and downhill disciplines where high-impact protection is essential.
