Your protection material: Poron XRD®
Our impact material is called Poron XRD®. It is soft and flexible when at rest, while above the glass transition temperatures (Tg) of the urethane molecules. When stressed at a high rate or impacted quickly, the Tg of the material reaches a point where the urethane molecules momentarily “freeze”- like water into ice. Thus, the material firms to form a comfortable protective shell that absorbs and instantly dissipates up to 90% of the impact energy again and again.
Further benefits:
- Low-profile: Poron XRD® is extremely thin, 4.8 mm / 1.9 inches to be exact. This is why the material can conform with movement, allowing you to move normally, but protecting you when needed.
- Longevity: Our impact material is treated with Microban® Antimicrobial Protection that helps prevent the growth of bacteria and repels odours and stains, allowing you to simply rinse your contact wear product (after training) a few times before having to actually wash it and thereby strain the material.
- Breathability: The XRD® Technology is open cell and breathable, offering protection without plastic or other materials that will increase a heightened body temperature.

Thanks to the puzzle full armour shirt I started again to hit with shoulders!
The pads position is perfect for those who love to use the upper-body to block or hit without having afterwards pain at the shoulders or at the sternum.
The shirt covers the hips and that’s to its slim-fit wearability remains at its place during games.
Great product!
I can’t play without anymore!
Ps not recommended for those who suffer hot temperatures, the material is thick but amazing!
I wear the stakes puzzle full armor shirt after returning from a shoulder injury . The padding covers the edges of the shoulder and the light compression increases the feeling of stability while not restricting arm movement.
The padding on the rib cage absorbs impact forces noticeably.
It’s getting hot in there a little faster than without an additional shirt but it´s getting hot anyway so that’s fine for the duration of a game or two. When it heats up to body temperature the padding forms a little to body shape.
It feels like being hugged by a steak – in a good way.
Against expectations I can take it on and off without any help. Seams and fabric are soft and more pleasant to wear than the shoulder bandage I used.
Protection stays in the right place and it is only one piece to cover all the spots – a useful addition to my derby gear!
