The best protective gear is the one you love to wear. This credo was the focus of the DECATHLON design team for creating this protective baselayer.

Gear Spotlight: Decathlon Protective Baselayer D3O Ghost
Let’s face it: We can all use a little extra padding out there sometimes. Whether you’re bodyslamming into your friend’s bomb hole or catching an edge in the park, it’s good to have some body protection on underneath your outer layers. At the same time, back protectors aren’t always the most ergonomic or comfortable part of your kit.
Meet the Protective Baselayer D30 Ghost from Decathlon, which promises comfort, reliability and freedom of movement. It features innovative Impact Print Technology from D30, with a material that hardens instantly upon impact to absorb energy and prevent injuries while remaining extremely flexible and breathable during movement.
The shock-absorbing material has been developed into an elastomer that can be applied directly to fabric without seams or adhesives. The result is an universal protector that shields your back, shoulders, hips, and lumbar spine while allowing for maximum freedom of movement.
So gap that bomb hole and overshoot that park landing in confidence. When push comes to shove, you’ll have a bit of extra protection on your side.
