BACKPRO XT Naked

The particular microstructure of the SLYTECH 2ND SKiN XT EVA based foam earns its unique nature, because its arranged in very homogeneous polygonal cells that are separated by membrane walls. This extraordinary behavior of the special EVA polygonal-cell-foam internal microstructure is the key to understanding the SLYTECH 2ND SKiN XTs superior protection and comfort. Already soft at room temperature, and even at lower temperatures, when worn and warmed by your body heat, the EVA polygonal-cell foam becomes even more flexible and contours to your bodys shape, just like clay. Moreover, the soft pliable material actually is the most effective shock absorber available in back protection. Laboratory tests show that SLYTECH 2ND SKiN XT technology is up to 80% more protective than traditional body armor and 20% more protective than traditional soft protectors. All this with unparalleled comfort, now improved even further.

When impact occurs, the EVA polygonal-cell-foam performs as a progressive shock absorber that intelligently adapts to the different forces and speeds of a crash. The shock absorption increases proportionally to the strength of the impact, so your body is protected completely at any impact level. When pressure is slowly applied, the membranes walls of the polygonal cells slide against each other through their contact planes and allow the cells to deform malleably. In contrast, when quick sharp pressure is applied, the force of the contact makes the membranes of the microstructure form a progressively stiffening and vibrating grid and the protector becomes rigid and deflects the blow. With SLYTECH 2ND SKiN XT, different intelligent reactions apply just the right protection for every circumstance all the while keeping you warm, comfortable and confident in your decent of the most intimidating mountain.

We have carefully engineered all our SLYTECH 2ND SKiN protectors to work with one another as part of our Modular Protection Concept. You can buy and use each piece individually or combine protectors to create a full body system that protects you from head to toe without sacrificing comfort, flexibility and most importantly protection.

To keep our protective products completely flexible and comfortable, we avoid hard plastic components, because what is hard can hurt.

The brand new Venting Pattern promotes the flow of air between the body and the shock absorbing protectors made in the SLYTECH 2ND SKiN Foam Technology.

Our protectors meet and exceed the EN-1621-2 Standards also when tested at -20°C (-4°F) to simulate conditions typical to winter sports and other application at very low temperatures.

Our SLYTECH 2ND SKiN XT EVA based material has a very high degree of recyclability as opposed to traditional Polyurethane soft protectors that are less recyclable. It is also not made of multi materials or sandwiches of hard plastics like traditional hard protectors that are impossible to recycle.

Our SLYTECH 2ND SKiN XT EVA based material is non-allergenic, and does not contain harmful substances. It does not contain Formamide, Heavy Metals, Cadmium, Phtalates and it passes the screening of 84 substances in the Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC).

Our SLYTECH 2ND SKiN XT EVA based material is completely free from Formamide, a toxic chemical usually found in similar compounds.

The shock absorbing element is designed to withstand multiple impacts, whether they are in quick succession on a slam or over the lifetime of the product. By returning to its original shape after impact, the protector is able to once again effectively able to absorb new shocks.

Providing year-round comfort and multisport ultimate protection.

Our SLYTECH 2ND SKiN XT EVA based material is produced through a solvent free, environmentally friendly process. Because we care about our planet.
