• LITESHIELD PLUS SYSTEM

  This new, extremely light, flexible and temperature-insensitive back protector has outstanding impact protection properties. The two-component sandwich construction consists of a combination of expanded polypropylene and a TPU carrier layer. The expanded polypropylene beads are shaped under high pressure and with the help of steam and simultaneously bonded to the carrier layer without the use of adhesives or other solvents. The highly compressed EPP foam provides the best possible protection for the thoracic and lumbar spine, including the coccyx. The side of the protector facing the back is constructed in cross-shaped or plus-shaped elements (SEGMENTED PLUS DESIGN). This ensures optimum air circulation on the back thanks to the all-round ventilation channels created in this way. At the same time, the segmentation offers flexibility in all directions: the plus-shaped protector elements of the back plate are movable in relation to each other. In this way, they perfectly adapt to every movement and guarantee even more protection and highest wearing comfort thanks to their proximity to the spine. The flexible, tear-resistant TPU carrier layer on the front keeps the protector in shape. The horizontally running, stepped flex lines determine how the new LITESHIELD PLUS BACK PROTECTOR bends so that it fits perfectly on the back in every situation. The protector material used, EPP, has a closed-pored surface so that neither moisture nor dirt can penetrate into the protector.
