RockGardn Interbike 2007
Mark and the crew at RockGardn have been busy at work developing some new goods to keep you protected and comfortable at the same time.
TrailStar (NEW)
MSRP $120.00 (+$30 for hydration pack)
The TrailStar is built as a lightweight over the jersey universal fit upper body protection. We tried it on and it fit just about every sized person from 5′2″ to 6′3″ and of all body shapes. It was pretty insane. In addition to it fitting like a glove, it came off even easier. The two arms slip out, and the two belt buckles unfasten quickly. It can be removed in under 5 seconds. The TrailStar is modular and you can attach the RockGardn elbow pads and neck roll.

In addition to that, it offers an optional hydration unit called the Trail Pack ($30)”. Mobility was very impressive as well and is perfect for someone looking for some protection that easily comes on and off.

The RockGardn gloves also got an overhaul and now feature individual carbon knuckles. Each glove size has its own carbon knuckle dimensions in order to improve fit.
