The safety of the rider is one of the most important bets in the catalogues of manufacturers and distributors of equipment for trial bikes. Clice, one of the most relevant and experienced brands, presents the new
Clice Vest Back Protector
, available for both adults and children.
The Trialworld team has already had the opportunity to test this new Clice wall protector and the impressions are very positive. It is a product that at first glance stands out for its simplicity. And therein lies also the key to its success. As soon as you pick up the back protector you can see that it is one of the lightest on the market and that the back has been thoroughly worked to accommodate the protection well, avoiding the slightest movement once it is placed on the rider.
Another relevant detail is that it is one of the trellises that best covers the lower part of the back, protecting the sacral area without this representing greater discomfort.
And precisely to achieve this comfort, the key is in the material used for protection. This is where it is more difficult to differentiate yourself from the competition, as they must all comply with the relevant European approvals , with deformable protections that absorb the shock and adjust to the rider’s body with body heat. In this case, the Clice wall protector obtains EN1621-1:2012 level 1. At this point it is worth remembering that back protection is already mandatory in all international championships promoted by the FIM, and we will soon see it extended to national championships.

For this point, it has been preferred to place a longitudinal zipper that runs the entire length of the vest, so that the rider puts it on as if it were a jacket and not as a T-shirt. A solution that, above all, provides comfort of use.
And as for the washing operation, the protection is removed in a few seconds from its compartment, being able to wash the elastic fabric independently.
The
Clice Vest Back Protector is available at this price
in three sizes: children’s only; and two adult sizes, S-M and L-XL. You can find this product in the
Clice online store
.
This same trellis is used in the Trial World Championship by riders such as Miquel and Aniol Gelabert or Emma Bristow.
