Mountain bikers will also find specific clothing from head to toe in the varied range. With the new Pearl Izumi Elevate Knee/Elbow Guard, the sportswear specialist is expanding its portfolio with medium-heavy protectors for enduro and trail use. The hard-wearing XNUMX-way Cordura stretch fabric offers the rider maximum freedom of movement with excellent breathability. In order to increase this effect, the mesh fabric has an opening in the hollow of the knee. Another advantage of the opening is the reduced formation of wrinkles when pedaling.
