Some days, just looking down from the lift at the trails you're about to ride is enough to make you glad you put all of your body armor on. But other days, the decision can be much less clear. Throw 7 Protection's Flex Body Protector into your big day rotation and you'll have the option to adapt your armor to fit whatever's in store for any given ride. With fixed chest padding, the Flex will always provide you with some cushion during unexpected spills, but it also comes with removable spine and shoulder protection for the days you know you'll be doing things you might not get away with cleanly. The padding hardens upon impact and was designed to meet CE mountain bike safety standards.
Conveniently, the pocket used to accommodate the spine protection also fits a two-liter hydration bladder, so you can skip the backpack on the days you hit the trails for an endurance ride. As a finishing touch, 7 Protection integrated four rear pockets and a center back pocket into the Flex to give you more than enough room to stash bonk-preventing grub and any other ride essentials.

Good Shoulder & Spine protection!
- Familiarity:

- Size Bought:
- XL

I recently got this padded Jersey and just did back to back Days at Trestle Bike Park in Winter Park! It was Breathable, super comfortable, Combo'd Great with my Transition Elbo pads and felt like adequate protection for what I needed. It was comfortable wearing all day! The Spine and Shoulder pads are removable for washing. it feels like a slimmer fit but that's good b/c I don't want my Pads moving around while active. I am Super Stoked on these new Pads & Love all the 7idp products!!!

Versatile jersey with protection
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
- Size Bought:
- XL

Bought this after looking for lightweight and breathable body protection for bike park riding. I'm a trail rider that only rides park a couple times a year on my enduro bike (Yeti SB150 bought from backcountry!). I've worn this both with the removable protection and as a jersey. It is very comfortable as the pads are flexible. Recently, have been wearing this as a jersey for trail riding with pads removed. The material is thick but still breathable and the pockets are awesome. I sized up to XL (usually wear a L) and the fit is not too tight or loose. Haven't crashed yet on a downhill run and likely would offer only moderate protection, but definitely serves my purposes. I did test the protection during a snowboarding trip to Vail when I crashed after a small jump and high sided (even though it was on the snow, falls like that have hurt me in the past!) Just bought a second one! Would definitely recommend for its versatility, if you need lightweight protection! Runs small, so size up!
