Seventy Degrees Windflex® Hip Protectors – CE Level 2 Type B

The hip is one of the highest-risk and least-protected impact zones on a motorcycle — the exact point that hits the road first in a lateral low-side. Most trousers ship with empty hip pockets; the Seventy Degrees Windflex® Hip Protectors fill them with Level 2 armour sized specifically for the joint.

Type B — The Bigger Footprint

Certified to EN 1621-1:2012 Level 2, Type B. Type B is the larger of the two protector footprints in the standard — it covers a wider area than the compact Type A, extending protection across the greater trochanter, the bony hip point where lateral-fall injury risk concentrates. Level 2 delivers the higher impact-absorption threshold.

Moves Through Every Position

The Windflex® polymer flexes and conforms to the curved hip surface, keeping continuous contact whether you're sitting on the bike, standing on the pegs or walking around a fuel stop — without pressure points or any restriction of natural hip movement. On impact the 70 Safety Lab viscoelastic locks to absorb and dissipate the energy.

Invisible Under the Trouser

Pre-curved geometry gives it the correct resting shape from day one, tapered conical edges eliminate perimeter pressure, and the Air&Flex open-cell structure breathes to control heat. A slim, low-profile build disappears inside the garment.

Fitment

Supplied as a pair in a one-size universal dimension calibrated to fit both men's and women's hip armour pockets across the Seventy Degrees range — slide-in or direct-stitch.
