The Shadow Conspiracy – Introducing Invisa-Lite Riding Gear

March 24, 2015

The Shadow Conspiracy‘s new “Invisa-Lite” pads are out now and definitely something worth checking out for those of you who want to wear pads, but hate how bulky they can be. Above is a quick promo, then you can learn all about the pads and check out more photos right here!

“Extend the ride, that’s what Shadow Riding Gear is all about.

With that thought in mind, we are proud to introduce to you our brand new Invisa-Lite pad line! Pads so slim and minimal you may forget you’re wearing them!

The Shadow Invisa-Lite pads feature the highest quality 3D multi-density foams. With intricately designed pad placement, our knee, shin, and elbow pads are comfortable while still providing the protection you need to help take that next step in riding progression.

Our Invisa-Lite line uses a compression fit, bonded silicone ring to insure that the pads will stay in place for the whole session without adjustment. The super lightweight Lycra keeps you cool and wicks away moisture while also making it extremely easy to remove your gear after a long ride.

Perfect for the rider that wouldn’t normally wear pads, the Invisa-Lite line allows you to keep comfortable but be protected so that you can stay healthy and continue living the BMX lifestyle!
