Protection Intelligent Body Protection (iBP) Technology: A frame-structured, three-dimensional hybrid component with high shock-absorption and force-distributing properties. The polypropylene injected frame is designed to be ventilated and use less material, while its reinforced geometry distributes impacts. The EPP foam base, seamlessly embedded under the frame, is both lightweight and offers superior impact absorption. Combined, the light and vented iBP design absorbs and dissipates impact energy, reducing the amount of force that makes it to the body.
