When choosing, it is important to check the certifications: mtb protectors must be approved and have the CE certification mark. At Cicli Mattio we only offer certified, safe and durable products. The aim of the protectors is to absorb shocks, so they are made of pretty hard plastic materials such as polypropylene, polyamide and polyurethane and have an internal padding that is able to expel sweat. Finally, they must adhere well to the cyclist's body and at the same time allow plenty freedom of movement. Particularly on more tricky off-road trails, it is very important to wear guards to protect the limbs and chest, so choose safe elbow, knee and back protectors from the best brands.
