Californian company EVS designed and produced the ever first motocross-specific knee brace back in 1985, and has since gone on to produce a wide range of braces, supports, helmets and protective armour for extreme sports activity protagonists. Its latest product is the F2 roost deflector, which protects the shoulder, chest and back using a modular system. The F2 has a two-piece polypropylene chest plate with lateral articulation to provide ease of movement, supported by a grid of impact dampening pads which lift the armour away from the skin to increase airflow. There are lots of vents and there is a bio-foam moulded liner for better comfort. It’s fully adjustable to fit a wide range of riders and meets CE standards for roost and back protection. It comes in two sizes (S/M and L/XL) and a choice of black or white, for an SRP of £253.99.
