LIMB PROTECTORS
TYPE A & B
1
Stands for the size of the protectors and is applicable to all joint
impact protectors. Type A refers to the standard dimensions of
protection for the average user. Type B has an additional wider area
of protection compared to type A.
LEVEL
The performance is based on the amount of impact transmission measured in kN (kilo Newton).
The EN 1621-1 (shoulder, elbow, knee, hip, leg) standard provides 2 Levels of protection: Level 1 and
2
Level 2. Level 1 protectors shall have an overall mean value below 35kN, each single strike shall not
exceed 35kN in the area I, and 50kN in the area II and III. Level 2 protectors shall have an overall
mean value below 20kN, each single strike shall not exceed 20kN in the area I, and 30kN in the
area II and III.
Level 2 protectors offer higher performance than Level 1 protectors.
Level 2 protectors offer the highest Level specified by the CE standard. Due to the extra Level of
protection Level 2 protectors may be heavier, thicker and less ergonomic than the Level 1 protectors.
It is up to the responsibility of the rider to choose the correct Level of protection according to their
needs, their experience, their performance and skills.
TEMPERATURE
3
T+ means the protection is tested and certified for temperatures up to +40 degrees Celsius
T- means the protection is tested and certified for temperatures down to –10 degrees Celsius
All SCOTT protections are certified with ambient and wet conditioning. Wet conditioning testing is
used to simulate the high humidity experienced during sports.
