Product Review: IXS Hack Shinpads
Nick Soloninka talks a little about the Hack Shinpads from IXS protection. IXS is a european company that makes a lot of technical riding gear for Bike and Motorcycle riders. Go check out their full line at www.ixs.com The Hacks are a full sleeve shinpad that provide great coverage. A half zipper on the side makes them easier to get on and off. IXS uses "Nockout" absorbant padding to keep the pad comfortable and safe. The body of the Hacks is made of "Aeromesh" breathable and ultralight fabric. So they will stay (relatively) cool while your riding. Nick has been wearing them on DH trips and says that they stay right where you put them. Bug your local shop to get you some. We will be doing some more tests of IXS products shortly. Including the Laid Back Riding denim and the Slope kneepad. Stay tuned...
