Next Level Series
The iXS next level series has been developed by the legendary Hans Rey and Darren Berrecloth, incorporating their Xmatter, an open cell foam. The Carve and Flow pads feature a kevlar cover, while the Cleaver, Mallet and Dagger also have a hard shell.
The Velcro used is medical grade, meaning that it is superbly stretchy but also stays securely in place.
All of the pads feature plenty of venting through lycra meshes, and silicon bands to help them stay in place.
The hard shell pads also feature a Squeeze box that allows them to retain full articulation without compromising coverage or exposing part of your knee.
The pads feature a knee cup that allows the pad to stay in place.
Cleaver Modular Jacket
The cleaver is a fully tuneable protective jacket, letting you chose your levels of protection or even change mid-ride.
Pretty much every part of the jacket is tuneable, including the kidney belt, shoulders,spine, chest and elbows.

Any word of price on the Trail helmet? Also, does the adjusty thing at the back look sturdy (ie, no tiny, snappy plastic bits)? I broke the one on my Giro Hex in no time :/
Should be around £85. Adjuster was super sturdy with a positive click, we should have one on test soon so keep an eye on the site for more info.
