KNEE GUARD ARCON LT MTB Knee Protectors

The KNEE GUARD ARCON LT from ION is the first of its kind: The centrepiece of the knee protectors is the biodegradable L2 protector, which was developed by REZRO and covers a 15% larger area than comparable protectors, including the medial and lateral tibial plateau. At the same time, the knee protectors offer everything you could want for any type of mountain biking: Lightweight, well ventilated and flexible. The sock construction consists of a comfortable blend of polyamide and abrasion-resistant yet flexible Cordura material. This knee pad marks the beginning of the ARCON line, as a sustainable product on the market that does not compromise on performance – for progressive trails or gravity.

Highlights & Technologies:

REZRO:
This protector gives you level 2 protection. It is also flexible, breathable, recyclable, certified biodegradable, lightweight and made in the EU.
The materials and ingredients of the protector accelerate the biodegradation process. If a ReZRO product is disposed of in a landfill site, for example, the biodegradation process begins and only takes around three to five years, whereas plastic, by comparison, takes hundreds of years. The ReZRO protector technology offers protection in case of a crash by breaking the molecular bonds. This releases energy through heat and sound, a material behaviour that leads to the absorption of impact energy. The molecules recombine immediately after the impact and are reset to ZRO, i e. to zero.

CORDURA:
The fibres guarantee high robustness and abrasion resistance. A brushed surface gives the material a pleasant grip. The fabric is fast-drying and extremely hard-wearing.
