MTB Protective Gear

Athena offers a full range of MTB protective gear for all biking fans to prevent injuries in the event of an impact. In the presence of uneven and slippery surfaces or potholes, Athena recommends to mountain-bikers to use safe and highly protective MTB protective gear since lack of adequate MTB protective gear leads to a risk of injury. Thus, to fully enjoy your sport with peace of mind, Athena recommends the use of a full range of biking protective gear such as helmets, knee pads, elbow pads, neck braces, chest protectors, and protective shorts. The Athena product portfolio allows MTB enthusiasts the chance to buy MTB enduro protections by Leatt and Troy Lee Designs, gear that provides the highest protection without ever giving up on comfort. MTB MASKS AND HELMETS Athena recommends that all mountain-bikers protect themselves from ruinous falls by wearing a bicycle helmet. The wide range of bicycle helmets offered allows any rider to enjoy protection, ventilation, and lightweight products. Open, full-face, or dual function helmets by Leatt and Troy Lee Designs offer high levels of protection thanks to the technologies used. While Troy Lee Designs’ helmets provide high protection thanks to MIPS, a technology that reduces and slows the amount of energy transferred to the head in angular impacts, Leatt’s helmets significantly reduce the risk of concussion thanks to their Turbine Technology. Constant leaders in protective equipment, Leatt, and Troy Lee Designs continue to invest in technology to provide the right protection for every rider. Leatt also offers bulletproof masks with lenses that meet strict military standards and guarantee limitless resistance and durability. MTB ELBOW PADS AND KNEE PADS The MTB elbow pads offered by Athena adequately protect the rider's elbows from scratches caused by branches along the trails and from falls in case of an impact. The elbow pads by Leatt absorb the blow superbly thanks to the hardness of the elbow pad in some points while simultaneously ensuring the necessary softness and flexibility of movement. Mountain bikers must pay attention also to the purchase of adequate knee pads to prevent injuries to a delicate area of the body. Athena offers knee pads by Leatt that feature a hard protective coating and areas with soft 3DF anti-impact foam ventilated and flexible but that hardens immediately upon impact to absorb energy and offer maximum protection. MTB NECK BRACES AND CHEST PROTECTORS Athena strongly recommends the use of a neck brace when mountain biking. Leatt’s MTB neck braces reduce the force exerted on the neck upon impact and are EC certified as personal protective equipment. The neck braces by Leatt are recognized all over the world and worn by famous riders. They reduce the possibility of serious injury by up to 43%. To add to the protection of the upper body, Athena also recommends the use of chest protectors by Troy Lee Designs or Leatt, the latter ones designed to be perfectly integrated with Leatt’s neck braces. PROTECTIVE MTB SHORTS Athena offers riders a full range of protective Leatt shorts, made of 3DF, a protective material that remains soft in normal conditions and hardens in the event of an impact. All models of Leatt protective shorts provide the rider with proper ventilation while the flat seams ensure moisture-wicking and a perfect fit.
