New Large Slytech XT Naked Back Protector

New Skytech/Shred Naked Ski Back Protector. Condition is New with tags. Size large. . INTRODUCING SLYTECH'S LATEST BREAKTHROUGH TECHNOLOGY: 2ND SKIN XT, THE XTRA TOUGH PROTECTIVE FOAM FOR ACTION SPORTS. You’d be mistaken if you thought the 2nd Skin XT Back Protector was just an incremental update to the 2ND SKiN back pro. That may be the case with other brands, who merely revised their line. The material contained within this newly engineered protector constitutes a dramatic shift over the older 2ND SKiN. For years the older sibling allowed top athletes and riders to perform at their best with complete freedom of movement, while keeping them healthy, strong and free of serious injuries. The new 2ND SKiN XT will prove that even perfection can be dramatically improved. The new 2nd SKiN XT is more durable, more flexible especially at lower temperatures, and protects you a full 20% better. It does all that with a dramatic increase in comfort. For Tech Geeks Only In our R&D cycle, Slytech engineers kept running up against performance walls with the Polyurethane foam found in the original 2nd Skin. Having set brand new ambitious protection goals, there was not much more that could be done to the material to drastically improve its performance, particularly in its low temperature performance. We combed through a multitude of industrial materials, looked far and wide and finally stumbled upon EVA, Ethylene-Vinyl-Acetate, a copolymer. In our lab and field tests, this little magic copolymer exhibited a much higher stability, toughness and durability at low temperatures and UV radiation than any competing protector, including our very own Polyurethane foam. The XT in the 2nd SKiN XT name stands for XTRA TOUGH. The extraordinary properties of the extra tough copolymer are due to its closed cell that provides improved shock absorption as well as its water and weather proof property. Wear it, abuse it and then throw it in the wash. No problem. WANT EVEN MORE TECH GEEK IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS? The particular microstructure of the SLYTECH's 2ND SKiN XT EVA based foam earns its unique nature, because it’s arranged in very homogeneous polygonal cells that are separated by membrane walls. This extraordinary behavior of the special EVA polygonal-cell-foam internal microstructure is the key to understanding the SLYTECH 2ND SKiN XT’s superior protection and comfort. Already soft at room temperature, and even at lower temperatures, when worn and warmed by your body heat, the EVA polygonal-cell foam becomes even more flexible and contours to your body's shape, just like clay. Moreover, the soft pliable material actually is the most effective shock absorber available in back protection. Laboratory tests show that impact absorption provided by the SLYTECH 2ND SKiN XT technology is up to 80% less traumatic than traditional body armor and 20% less traumatic than the older PU 2nd Skin. When impact occurs, the EVA polygonal-cell-foam performs
