PRO GuIDe Forcefield ‘Sport Range’ base layer and jacket; FreeLite back protector British protection specialist Forcefield’s ‘Sport Range’ of base layer armoured clothing is described as a “more affordable, yet still high performance base layer armoured clothing range that is designed to complement our higher specification Pro Range,” says Sales Director Matthew Dawson. “Supremely comfortable, classy and breathable, it utilises compression fit technology and is equipped with CE2 back and chest inserts where applicable. As with our Pro Range, the wearer can choose whether it’s fitted with Isolator CE1 or CE2 shoulder and elbow armour. This gives greater flexibility in terms of price and armour characteristics. “The fabric used is a high performance, breathable base layer, specifically designed for use under regular Sports shirt casual, textile or leather motorcycle clothing.” Described as easy to wear, with protection covering the back, chest, shoulder and elbow “this is a great way to protect the upper body to a higher level than the armour that is generally fitted as standard into jackets,” says Matthew, “and it’s far more comfortable - a versatile ‘do it all’ product for all types of motorcycle riders.” The Sport Range is suitable for all types of motorcycle riders, from commuters, cafe racer and retro, sports bike, touring, adventure, and trail riding. All Forcefield armour within the range benefits from DRI-M Technology - Dynamic, Reactive, Intelligent Material The Sport clothing range includes these Sport Shirt options, Sport Tube, Pants and the Sport Jacket 1 and 2 also seen here. Also using Forcefield’s compression fit technology with CE2 back and chest inserts where applicable and Isolator CE1 or CE2 shoulder and elbow armour options with the same DRI-M Technology the breathable, lightweight high-performance material is said to be ideal for use under outer jackets. Finally, a new addition to the Forcefield back protector range, their ‘FreeLite’ back protector “takes comfort to the next level while still offering CE Level 2 performance and Repeat Performance Technology (RPT)”. This is a new “free fitting” back protector design offering “even more breathability and flexibility, and at minimal weight,” according to Matthew. “Using the very latest cutting techniques and ergonomic design principals the “free fitting” armour shapes to the body perfectly, offering huge flexibility and no restriction when moving around on the motorcycle.” Described as super lightweight and with heat activated 3D body moulding, ‘FreeLite’ also utilises DRI-M technology - the armour layering system passed the EN1621-2 CE2 test pass. In addition to ‘FreeLite’ the Forcefield back protector range also includes Pro Sub 4K and Pro L2K Dynamic options.
