On this page you'll find a ranking of the best ION products in this category. To give you a quick overview, we've already ranked the most important information about the products for you.
1. 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 avoids drapery 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.
2. ION K-Pact
Certified protector for all demands from park to trail, offering unmatched comfort even for enduro days. The award-winning K-Pact excels in ventilation and fit: the sock made of Super Perforator Neoprene ensures noticeably better ventilation around the knee area, even when the protector is worn during long uphill climbs. The asymmetric padding on the inside and outside of the knee protects the joint from lateral contact with the frame or obstacles. The certified (EN 1621, Level 2) Sas-Tec pad at the front hardly needs any further description: the absorption capabilities of this padding are simply top-notch. In this combination of Super Perforator Neoprene sock and Sas-Tec pad, the K-Pact is an absolutely reliable and excellent companion for rides on home trails, visits to bike parks, or high-speed runs in the backcountry.
