Full Back and Shoulder Protection Built for the Trail

The Bluegrass Armour B&S D3O is a dedicated back and shoulder protector designed for riders who want serious coverage without sacrificing comfort or packability. Whether you're pushing hard enduro laps or committing to technical eMTB descents, it delivers certified protection in a breathable, slim-fit format that works under a pack or jacket.

What It Does

The Armour B&S combines a D3O full back protector with D3O shoulder shells and additional soft body shells, giving you comprehensive upper-body coverage in a single piece. D3O material remains flexible during normal movement but hardens on impact, making it well suited to the unpredictable demands of trail and enduro riding.

Real-World Notes

The slim-fit, open-mesh build means it can be worn directly against the skin or layered under a trail jersey or riding jacket. The built-in 1L hydro pack capacity keeps things minimal on shorter rides, and neck brace compatibility means it integrates cleanly for riders who run a brace on bigger days out.

Sizing Guide

The Armour B&S is available in Small, Medium, Large, and Extra Large. The slim-fit construction is designed to sit close to the body, so if you are between sizes or prefer a slightly more relaxed fit, consider sizing up. No official size chart has been provided by the supplier — if you are unsure which size suits your build, feel free to contact the Torque Collective workshop team before ordering.

Why Torque Collective Stock This

Back and shoulder protection is consistently underused in the MTB and eMTB community, and the Bluegrass Armour B&S D3O addresses that gap practically. It carries genuine EN 1621-2 Level 1 certification, uses proven D3O impact material, and is built around real trail use — breathable construction, hydration compatibility, and neck brace integration are all features that matter on longer enduro or eMTB rides. It belongs in the Torque range because it is a credible, well-specified piece of armour that riders can wear consistently rather than leave in the van.
