Product Information

Full details

The Gatehouse Superflex 2.0 Body Protector is designed for riders who prioritize both high-level safety and freedom of movement. It provides a contoured, ergonomic fit through advanced body mapping and breathable mesh, meeting BETA EN13158:2018 Level-3 safety standards. While it offers excellent shock absorption via its dual-layer foam construction, riders should note that the 24mm overall thickness is tailored for a close-fitting profile, which may feel different than bulkier traditional protectors.

FAQs

What safety standard does this vest meet?

The Gatehouse Superflex 2.0 meets the BETA EN13158:2018 Level-3 safety standard.

Can I wear this over my competition jacket?

While it can be worn over thin layers, it is designed for a close, ergonomic fit. Many riders prefer wearing it underneath clothing, but it can be worn over lighter garments if preferred.

How do I clean the vest?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the exterior. Do not submerge or machine wash.

Is this vest suitable for jumping?

Yes, its ergonomic and aerodynamic design is ideal for jumping as it allows for significant freedom of movement.

How thick is the protective padding?

The vest has a total thickness of 24mm, consisting of a 12mm Nitrile foam outer and 12mm EPP core.

Troubleshooting

The vest feels loose around the ribs.

Tighten the elasticated side laces evenly on both sides until the vest maintains a snug, secure contact with your body.

The vest feels too tight or limits breathing.

Loosen the side laces incrementally until you achieve a full range of motion while ensuring the vest stays in its protective position.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-impact protection with dual-density foam technology
  • Excellent ventilation thanks to specialized mesh panels
  • Flexible design ensures comfort during active movement
  • Adjustable fit accommodates different body types effectively
  • Lightweight and aerodynamic aesthetic

Cons

  • Requires careful adjustment of side laces for proper initial fit
  • Close-fit design may feel restrictive to riders used to loose vests
  • Black colorway may show dust or stable debris quickly

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best fit, pull on the vest and adjust the elasticated side laces until the unit feels secure but not constrictive against your torso. Ensure the front and back panels align properly to cover your ribs and spine. For care, wipe the outer surface with a damp cloth to remove dirt or sweat. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or submerging the vest in water, as this can degrade the integrity of the foam components. Store the vest in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material fatigue.
