The Armour Lite addresses both of those concerns with a genuinely light, breathable build and a slim profile that works under your existing trail or enduro jersey. The neck brace compatibility broadens its appeal for riders running more serious setups, and the built-in hydration sleeve means it can serve as a minimalist pack on shorter days out. For eMTB riders in particular — where longer, sustained efforts are common — having protection that doesn't penalise you thermally is a practical benefit worth stocking.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bluegrass","offers":[{"title":"X-Large \/ Black","offer_id":57231018656119,"sku":"BGP062","price":145.82,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small \/ Black","offer_id":57231018688887,"sku":"BGP059","price":145.82,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium \/ Black","offer_id":57231018721655,"sku":"BGP060","price":145.82,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large \/ Black","offer_id":57231018754423,"sku":"BGP061","price":145.82,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0975\/4224\/2679\/files\/47917-pm.jpg?v=1782588196","url":"https:\/\/torquecollective.uk\/products\/bluegrass-armour-lite","provider":"Torque Collective","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
