SAS-TEC Armor For Cortech Apparel

Available SAS-TEC® Armor for Cortech Jeans These high tech SAS-TEC® armor inserts offer progressive absorption that enables the armor to reduce the transmittance of impact energy to a rider’s body. SAS-TEC® is designed and engineered in Stuttgart, Germany for Cortech.

• Larger surface areas allow more efficient dissipation of applied force, reducing the impact of energy to the body.
