Spidi Defender Armor is designed to be a year-round solution to staying safe on two wheels, it can be worn under your regular jacket to add a front and back layer of category 2 CE certified armour, and it allows you to wear a different jacket in summer and winter – without losing any impact protection.
The vest uses a highly shock absorbent, light composite cell material that’s been CE certified as being able to absorb 9 Kilonewtons, it’s designed to protect the chest, spine and kidneys, and its fastening system allows it to be fitted tightly to almost anyone’s torso.
