01.Armadillo Research

ARMADILLO The common armadillo or nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus Linnaeus, 1757) is a mammal found in Central and South America.

The tail, very broad at the base, is conical in shape and covered with keratin rings.

the back The common name is derived from the characteristic armor present on the animal’s back.

In fact, in Spanish, armadillo is a diminutive meaning “equipped with armor and small in size,” which was given to it in the 16th century by the first conquistadores.

The head has an elongated snout and large, rhomboid-shaped ears.

The sense of smell is superfine

BREATHABILITY The level of ventilation of a back protector determines its comfort and subsequent riding confidence, especially during hot weather.

LIGHTNESS A lightweight protector can be worn more comfortably and for longer, without fatiguing riding and movement in the saddle.

LOAD DISSIPATION The ability to dissipate the energy of an impact is the main characteristic of a protector. The absorbed force is not transmitted to the rider’s body.
