The SCOTT Back Protector Soft Flex CRX represents the cutting edge of personal safety technology and employs innovative materials. The d3o plates are composed of a intelligent shock absorption material, which has also been vented for improved breathability. Deflexion provides protection without the stiffness of traditional padding and body armor. This design offers increased protective coverage and unparalleled freedom of movement. For most of us, the SCOTT Back Protector Soft Flex CRX is as close as we'll ever come to wearing a spacesuit.
