Product Spotlight: iXS Hack-Series Soft Pads

Flexibility and safety combined...

For the Hack-Series, iXS Sports Division worked closely with René Wildhaber. The Swiss rider has collected no less than six wins at the Mégavalanche Alpe d’Huez, which is why he’s often called the “Mega Man.” Wildhaber has also been travelling around the world searching for virgin trails and getting incredible photo or video footage from exotic places such as Nepal, Kenya, Kamchatka or the Cape Verde Islands.

The singletrack that René seeks is in remote regions - meaning climbing and sometimes hiking. Lightweight protectors with minimal pack size are perfect for this – and that’s exactly what the Hack-Series offers. Whether it’s the elbow, knee pads, or the shin guards you benefit from the use of proven Nock Out padding, highly breathable and antibacterial AeroMesh, and VentMesh.  These fabrics offer both protection and comfort.  Wear them when you need them, stuff them into your pack when you don’t.

René Wildhaber put's his trust in iXS. "I’m loving it; to ride single trails all over the world. It not only gives me the fun I’m looking for but also an amazing chance to meet a lot of people from all different cultures - a lifetime education. iXS is a Swiss company which puts a lot of energy and engagement into mountain bike sport. That’s why I ride iXS products."
