We like body armor that takes up minimal space under the rest of our trail gear while still providing us with maximum protection. The Tarka Vest is designed with a compression fit, keeping the chest and back protectors and surrounding lightweight mesh material snug to your body. The full vest offers superior breathability with perforated protection panels, stretch Cordura shoulder and sleeve panels, and moisture-wicking properties in the mesh body. Your Tarka Vest is ensured to stay in place while riding with a silicone elastic built into the waist, keeping you riding longer without stopping for clothing adjustments.
