Pando Moto Shell UH 03 Armored ShirtThe Shell UH 03 Armored Shirt is a unisex base layer top that provides impact protection with low profile armor and abrasion resistance with stretch Balistex stretch fabric. The tight fit keeps armor in place and double mesh armpits and sleeves provide excellent ventilation to keep you cool.Construction:Extremely durable power-stretch Balistex (65% UHMWPE 15 times stronger than steel) fabricProtection: SAS-TEC The intelligent protection armour is constructed from smart molecules: in case of an impact the armour will rapidly freeze and harden, absorbing the shock and distributing it over a large area to reduce the risk of fractures. The soft exterior of the armour offers a great deal of comfort and mobility. TripleFlex CE Level 1 (approved to EN 1621-1:2012) armor on the elbows and shoulders Pocket for QUATROFLEX CE Level 1 (approved to EN 1621-1:2012) lightweight back armor (not included) Low profile protection for unrestricted movements 35 meters slide distance or 4.1 seconds sliding time CE approved to EN-17092 as a Class AA garment A CE Level AA rating, governed by the EN 17092-3:2020 standard, signifies that a garment is engineered to offer a high level of abrasion resistant protection suitable for a wide range of riding conditions, including touring and daily commuting. To achieve this classification, the materials in the most vulnerable areas of the garment, known as Zone 1 (typically shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees), undergo rigorous testing.The key test for abrasion resistance is performed on a specialized machine called the Darmstadt tester. In this test, a sample of the garment's material is subjected to a simulated slide on a concrete surface. For a garment to earn the AA rating, the material in Zone 1 must withstand a rotational speed of approximately 412.6 revolutions per minute (rpm) on the Darmstadt machine. This is designed to replicate a slide at a road speed of approximately 43mph (70 km/h). The material passes the test if it does not develop a hole larger than 5mm in any direction after the abrasion. This exacting standard ensures that the garment offers substantial protection against road rash in the event of a fall at typical road speeds. It is important to note that this abrasion test is just one component of the comprehensive testing required for certification. To earn the final rating, the garment must also pass rigorous standards for tear resistance, seam strength, the impact protection performance of the included armor and additional factors. Temperature Regulation: Highly heat-conducting fabric (cools down) Double mesh on the armpits and sleeves for increased ventilation and breathability Comfort:Due to the comfortable tight cut, the armor is secured inplace and doesnt move around
