Designed to stay soft and flexible during movement but stiffen instantly on impact, the inserts dissipate energy while the fabric keeps you dry and mobile. The shorts fit under or over outerwear, include an adjustable wide velcro waist, and prioritize comfort and durability for skiing, snowboarding, skating, and other high-impact activities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the RZ-LABS material protect me differently from standard foam?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRZ-LABS is a modified polyurethane that changes state on impact: it remains pliable for comfort, then stiffens in milliseconds to absorb and spread the force.
