ION

Protection Wear Amp Tank

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I like this tank for riders who want certified back protection without committing to a full vest. The SAS-TEC pad is flexible, the airflow is legit, and the fit stays stable even on rough descents. It’s protection you can actually pedal in."

When the ride demands protection but the terrain demands efficiency, we turn to the Protection Wear Tank Amp for a clean, low-profile solution. Designed to be worn under a jersey, it provides dependable spine coverage for trail and enduro riding without the bulk or restriction of heavier armor systems. With ION’s focus on mobility and ventilation, it’s built for riders who earn their descents.

At the core is a centrally positioned, removable SAS-TEC back protector certified to EN 1621-1:2012 standards. The protector remains flexible while riding, then firms on impact to dissipate energy effectively. Strategic mesh inserts and 3D mesh ventilation zones increase airflow across the back, reducing heat buildup during long climbs and warm-weather sessions. An elastic hem with added grip ensures the tank stays in position, preventing shifting or bunching when riding aggressively.

The Protection Wear Tank Amp integrates seamlessly into modern riding kits, fitting comfortably beneath jerseys and compatible with packs or hydration systems. Rear stash pockets provide convenient storage for nutrition or small tools without interfering with the protector. This is a protection layer best suited for trail and enduro riders who prioritize breathability, mobility, and certified impact coverage in a minimalist package.
