How does the Holeshot Protector balance protection and freedom of movement?

The Holeshot uses an articulated back design that follows your spine and torso movements, reducing restriction when leaning, twisting, or sprinting for the first turn. Its low-profile chest plates and segmented rear panels deliver coverage while staying compact under jerseys or jackets.

• Articulated rear panels for natural flex and range of motion
• Low-profile chest coverage that doesn’t impede steering or breathing
• Lightweight construction to minimize rider fatigue over long sessions

Will the protector fit with my neck brace and riding gear?

The Holeshot was created with neck brace compatibility in mind, so it sits comfortably under most modern braces without disrupting fit. Neoprene shoulder padding and an integrated waist closure let you fine-tune the fit for a secure, slip-free feel under jerseys and outer layers.

• Neck brace compatible layout reduces interference with collars and straps
• Neoprene shoulder pads improve comfort under shoulder straps
• Integrated waist closure allows quick adjustments for a snug fit

What safety standards and protective features does it include?

The Holeshot exceeds the EN14021 safety standard, offering assurance that the protector has passed recognized European impact and performance tests. Multiple protective elements combine to absorb and disperse impacts while maintaining ventilation and a manageable weight.

• Certified to exceed EN14021 safety benchmarks for impact protection
• Segmented shell design disperses force across panels
• Neoprene padding for local comfort and shock management

How do I put it on and secure it for a ride?

Putting the Holeshot on is straightforward: slip it over your head and use the integrated waist closure to lock it in place. The system keeps the protector centered on your torso so it stays effective during rough terrain and aggressive maneuvers.

• Over-the-head fit with easy access neck opening
• Integrated waist closure secures the protector without bulky belts
• Adjustable tension accommodates layering and different body shapes
