FAQs
What does RE ZRO* technology mean for sustainability?
RE ZRO* technology utilizes TPE material that is designed to be both biodegradable and 100% recyclable, offering an environmentally conscious approach to protective gear. TPE material has shown 14.14% biodegradability over 90 days in specific lab tests (ASTMD5511-18 & ISO 15985:2014).
How do I ensure the best fit?
Consult the product's sizing chart image for guidance. Once you have the correct size, use the side elastic straps to fine-tune the fit for comfort and security.
Can I wear this with a neck brace?
Yes, the protector includes integrated elastics specifically designed to help secure a neck brace.
What are the protection certifications?
The back protector is certified to CE 1621-2 Level 2, and the chest protector is certified to CE 1621-3 Level 1.
How should I clean the chest and back protector?
It is essential to remove the RE ZRO* pads before washing. The vest can be machine washed on a gentle cycle in cold water. The RE ZRO* pads should be hand washed with mild soap and cold water and air-dried.
Is the protector suitable for all action sports?
It is specifically designed for high-impact sports such as downhill riding, enduro, BMX, and moto. Its protective features and design cater to the demands of these activities.
What is the difference between the chest and back protection levels?
The back protector offers a higher level of impact resistance, certified at CE Level 2, while the chest protector is certified at CE Level 1. This aligns with typical protection needs in action sports where the back often sustains more direct impact.
Troubleshooting
Protector feels too tight or restrictive
Loosen the side elastic straps and ensure the front zipper is not over-tightened. Refer to the sizing chart and consider if a larger size is needed.
Fabric feels damp or uncomfortable
This is normal during strenuous activity due to the moisture-wicking properties. Ensure the vest is properly aired out after use. For persistent dampness, check care instructions to ensure proper drying.
RE ZRO* pad not fitting correctly after cleaning
Ensure the pads were removed before washing the vest and that they were air-dried flat and not stretched. Re-insert them carefully, ensuring they are aligned with the vest's internal pockets.
