The Youth A5 S v2 Chest Guard offers advanced protection through a sophisticated hybrid structure. On the inner side of the outer shell, a perforated impact grid serves as a critical second line of defense while significantly enhancing airflow to reduce heat buildup. The dual-zone chest protector features a rigid central zone for high-impact resistance, surrounded by a flexible soft compound and soft bio-foam padding. This adaptive system molds perfectly to the chest for a secure, personalized fit.
Engineered for maximum breathability, the central zone directly behind the perforated grid is completely open, allowing for superior ventilation. Approximately 17% of the protector's structure is comprised of ventilation apertures aligned through both hybrid layers. This super-ventilated design uses specialized channeling to direct heat away from the body during intense activity. Constructed from flexible, weight-saving viscoelastic material, the back protector remains highly adaptive and flexible during movement.
A customizable and secure fit is achieved through adjustable shoulder straps and easy-connect side buckles. The innovative V-straps spread tightening force across a wider area of the back protector, ensuring the rib guards and chassis stay comfortably in place. For added versatility, this guard is YNS compatible, featuring a removable punch panel and elasticated YNS pull tabs for seamless integration with neck supports.
Comprehensive coverage includes removable viscoelastic shoulder protectors mounted on soft-touch foam padding. These are easily attached via hook and loop patches, with elastic upper arm adjustment straps to keep the protection stable. Whether you need the full configuration or a more streamlined profile, the detachable components and quick-closure system make this chest guard an essential piece of safety equipment.
