1. ION K-Pact Zip

The K-Pact Zip is the evolution of the popular and award-winning K-Pact and will undergo a further improvement for 2018: The protector itself is sewn from "SuperPerforator Neoprene", which allows for excellent ventilation and a tight fit. In terms of protection, the K-Pact zip uses the proven Sas-Tec pad, which is certified according to EN 1621, Level 2. In this combination, the K-Pact-Zip meets the highest demands on knee pads for almost every biking discipline - except cross-country. The Quick-E zipper opens the pad completely and it can be put on and taken off comfortably without taking off the shoes. This makes the K-Pact-Zip even suitable as a protector for extended tours with long ascents, where you want to carry the protector on or in your backpack. Delivery : 1 pair. 

2. ION E-Lite

The KLite Zip knee pad from Ion offers medium protection and is oriented to the enduro application range (protection level EN1621-1:2012/L1). The removable K L1Lite pad offers more than just protection against abrasion and easily absorbs light to medium impacts. The pre-shaped pads follow the natural shape of the knee and fit ergonomically. A seamless, abrasion-resistant layer on the front ensures the pads are non-slip, so they won't slip during falls. The extremely durable and tightly woven Aramid material adds to the robustness. ESeitlich protect integrated Eva pads that absorb light shocks. If you prefer to pedal uphill passages or the way to the trail without knee pads, you can easily remove the K Lite Zip thanks to the side zipper without having to take off your shoes.

4. ION E-Pact

Does anybody have arms stretched out driving downhill? Certainly not. Therefore, ION has preformed the E_Pact with a diffraction angle of almost 90°. This fit avoidsdrapery as well as incision of the mesh material in the crook of the arm and thus premature fatigue. Since freedom of movement is essential for intuitive steering manoeuvres, the E_Pact relies on a combination of viscoelastic foam materials and a hard shell. The high-quality HD_Memory Foam optimally adapts to the body contour and has proven its longevity at ION over years in kitesurfing hip belts. The hard shell takes the fright out of pointed stones, distributes the kinetic energy of an impact over a large area and gives the schooner a slim visual appearance thanks to the thin padding used. 

5. ION K-Pact

The revised version of its test winner K-Pact features a proven sleeve construction for an excellent fit using a new, highly breathable sleeve material: the SuperPerforator neoprene ensures maximum breathability even on long ascents. Asymmetric side padding to protect against impacts and top tube contacts. The main padding of Sas-Tec Performance is famous for its cushioning properties. Overall, the K-Pact is your reliable partner for home trail rides, bike park adventures and fast backcountry descents. 

6. ION K-Pact Select

ION's Tectonic Fit design principle allows previously unknown freedom of movement while providing optimum knee and shin protection: The main components of the pad,i.e. the knee and shin element, are only connected to each other at the sides of the knee joint. This allows these elements to slide over each other like tectonic plates when pedalling in the front area. The pad always remains close to the leg and does not slip. This means that enduro and all-mountain riders can now also enjoy full knee-shinbone protection that was otherwise reserved for downhillers:In the front knee area, the padding from the German manufacturer SAS-TEC provides outstanding shock absorption properties (the same material has been used for years in motorcycle protective clothing). The shin is protected from painful pedal slippage by HD Memory Foam. Asymmetrically arranged side pads made of EVA protect the knee joint in case of impacts against the top tube as well as against lateral impacts.the K_Pact-Select comes in an open construction, i.e. the protector can be simply "folded" over the leg, taking off the shoes is no longer necessary.Technologies:Patented Tectonic Fit Technology:A special, patented construction of the K_PACT Select, consisting of separate knee and shin guard elements. Super Perforator Neoprene:Very flexible, especially robust and above all very air-permeable neoprene. Of course not to be compared with mesh material, but in terms of neoprene it is the most air permeable material ION currently uses.SAS-TEC padding:SAS-TEC is an innovative, German manufacturer of particularly high-quality protectors. The company looks back on a long history in motorcycle protection equipment - and is ION's first choice when it comes to reliable safety. Therefore, three-dimensionally shaped protection pads made of a visco-elastic foam with exceptionally high absorption properties are often used in ION protectors. - Weight: 550 g - Scope of delivery (quantity): in pairs - Size information: Size is normal - Fit: tight fit - Protection zones: shin - type of protector: soft-hard combination - carrier material: 30 % neoprene, 20 % polyurethane, 25 % ethylene vinyl acetate, 10 % polyamide, 7 % polyester

We have increased the protection area so that it covers the entire back. The pre-shaped SAS-TEC pads on the shoulders are designed to follow the natural posture of the shoulders and do not restrict movement. Getting on and off is even easier thanks to the side zip, which opens completely. When riding, you hardly feel it at all thanks to the flat finish and Safelock zipper. At the bottom, the elastic, extended waistband in combination with silicone print on the inside ensures that the waistcoat does not slip. Thanks to the generous use of breathable mesh, the Protection Vest Amp is suitable as a protective baselayer that can be worn comfortably under a jersey even in summer. On the back, there is room for snacks, maps and other small items in the two easy-to-reach pockets.

9. ION K-Pact Amp HD

The K-Pact Amp HD is the evolution of our award-winning classic for progressive downhill and freeride mountain biking.
The protection area extends beyond the knee
to the upper shin. Our specially developed SAS-TEC Pad K-L2 Long (EN 1621-1:2012 / L2) absorbs hard falls and does so several times without having to be replaced. Power_Slide caps improve the glide during falls so that the knee pads stay in place. Lightweight, breathable padding provides additional protection against lateral impacts. The angled fit on the back ends above the calf muscle for better circulation. The perfect fit can be further optimised with the Ergo_Strap on the back. This means that the individual fit can be adjusted for everyone.
