Icon once said that their crashes were violent street episodes. And that is God s honest truth. Vicious tumbling encounters across two lanes of coarse asphalt. Icon knows the pain of the street crash first hand. That is the driving reason behind the creation of their Field Armor Stryker series. The Stryker series contains elements of CE certified Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). The CE certified PPE conforms to defined European motorcycle safety standards for specified impact protection. While no PPE no matter how extensive can offer full protection against injury or death the Field Armor Styrker PPE can help sway the outcome in your favor. Accept that you will crash and then outfit yourself accordingly. The Women s Field Armor Stryker vest features all of the same construction and CE certification standards as the men s version but has been retailored for a woman s fit. The back armor plate has been made slightly shorter by changing to a five or six plate arrangement. Additionally the midriff and velcro adjustment straps have been rescaled for a proper fit. Of course the main function of the vests back protector enhanced protection remains intact as the women s version meets applicable CE certification standards for back protectors.
