Lower spine coverage where most vests leave you exposed
Many vests leave the lower spine exposed—exactly where many OTB crashes can hit hard. Rockintor adds a dedicated lower-back pad discreetly integrated behind the pocket area, while still maintaining airflow through the AirVora™ structure.
At just 940 g for the vest (size L) and 235 g for the base layer (size L), the system delivers an unusually light kit for this level of protection.
No need for frequent washing — the odor-resistant fabric and sleeveless design as second layer stay fresh for months of riding.
- Tested and ridden by the THOUGHEST -
International freeride star Bienvenido Aguado joins Rockintor as an ambassador and test rider, pushing AirVora™ in demanding real-world freeride conditions.
Bienve has already put AirVora™ through serious punishment, including two heavy crashes at Freeride Fiesta in Mexico—then still rode on to take the Best Trick Award.
“After seeing some of my closest friends get seriously injured in competition, I’m always looking for the most protective gear—this is no joke. Rockintor AirVora™ honestly feels like the best option on the market right now.” — Bienvenido Aguado
CE LEVEL 2 PROTECTION ACROSS ALMOST THE ENTIRE TORSO
With 8 protective pads plus OrganProt3ct™ mesh, the system is designed to cover almost the entire torso with a rare level of protection for a pedal-focused and bikepark product.
Certified CE Level 2 impact protection pads
CE Level 2 pads absorbs 40% more impact energy than CE Level 1

best-in-class compounds
We carefully research and source high-performance compounds to achieve maximum impact absorption with minimal material. In our testing, they delivered outstanding results and an exceptional absorption-to-ventilation ratio that we did not find in other materials we evaluated.
Rider testimonial
Propietary 0RGANPROT3CT™
S Y S T E M
- Engineered with a highly malleable, resistant, and ventilated 3D mesh across the abdomen.
- Aids in preventing potential organ perforations caused by sharp objects such as broken tree branches, rocks, stumps, handlebars, and more.
Riding through the woods can be a gamble.
Broken branches turn into spikes with one soft crash—just hugging a tree can stab you. Pointy rocks are scattered everywhere. Or it’s simply the end of your handlebar or a brake lever twisting toward you. There are too many ways for one small thing to go wrong over years of weekly rides—and it only takes one. That’s why, after years of riding in every kind of terrain and conditions, we developed a solution that went beyond our expectations.
Our featured 3D mesh is tougher than you’d think—stronger than some Kevlar fabrics we tested against.

Like a mid-size hip pack
—but with zero belly obstruction
and no bouncing
You won’t believe what these two pockets can hold:
Left large pocket: fits a jersey, light jacket, and even knee pads.
Right pocket: fits a large phone, bars, tools, essentials.
A secure zipper keeps everything locked in.
In our tests, it held just over 2 liters—right in the sweet spot of mid-range hip packs.
Maximizes airflow on long climbs — usable even in the hottest conditions.
Now there’s no excuse not to wear your armor all year long.
With the two side Velcro straps, the vest opens like wings—maximizing airflow through your chest. Once you get used to it, you can adjust it while pedaling and reach the summit without even realizing you're wearing armor.
It feels like a super-comfortable carrying vest—yet it protects you like nothing else.

La prenda está muy cómoda. Se siente muy resistente y la talla elegida por ustedes me va perfecta. Materiales de muy buena calidad. Lo recomiendo ampliamente
Ricardo Fernandez
Super responsive to questions (mostly surrounding fit/sizing) and an overall excellent, super easy purchase. Nailed the fit, shipping was fast, and the overall experience was top notch.

I delayed writing this review until I'd had the opportunity to test it out in hot conditions. While super comfortable, it seemed dumb to write a review before testing the gear in the specific conditions where it was advertised to truly excel above the other options. AND THEY AREN'T LYING!!!
I was first attracted to the Rockintor Airvora because it has the best coverage of all options on the market (of which I'm aware). I've tried a pile of offerings from all the different brands, from std mtb products to full motocross hard plate armour, searching for better than just central chest and back protection. I took a long hard look at the POC "pressure suit" style jackets and even those offer only partial rib coverage, while the breathability is very low and the jacket material quite fine - I'm not sure how it would hold up to repeated washing. Name a brand or model and there's a very good chance that I've considered it, tried it on, and perhaps owned it.
The Airvora by Rockintor provides hands down the best coverage for any option I've seen, comes in a variety of sizing options, and with the two-piece undershirt/vest combo, doesn't bind up in the shoulders the way many/most offerings that are built more like a jacket or an armoured shirt typically do. It pairs well with a neck brace too, should you wish to use one.
They now have a pre-order for a long sleeved version of the undershirt which has CE2 elbows as well as shoulders, which was my only note of "something's missing/could be better".
I've worn this in 37C for full days and while of course it's noticeable, it's barely warmer than just a jersey. I've never worn any armour that breathes even half this well, and considering the amazing coverage as well as the CE2 rating, I can't imagine why anyone would wear anything else unless obligated by sponsorship.
This is the real deal - offering amazing coverage, comfort, and protection.
*They say it doesn't need to be washed much and to hand wash it, but I've been laundering mine after every use in a mesh bag and it's holding up like new.
**Bonus use case - the fit is so good, and the bulk so low that I can wear this under my moto leathers for track days and road racing. It's CE2 rated, and provides FAR better coverage than a standard moto back protector - so it's a massive upgrade there as well!

Very comfortable and low profile. Very cool and well ventilated. Feels like it would provide good protection in the scenario of a crash.
Sam Randolph
I am 58 years old. I’ve been doing cross-country riding for over 30 years, and for the past two years, I’ve been into enduro and some light downhill riding. I’ve finally found body armor that offers complete protection while also being very comfortable. I am very satisfied with my purchase; it has a great design and looks impressive.
Luis Eduardo Ramirez Hurtado
Je suis très content de cette nouvelle conception de protection corporelle, elle vraiment confortable, les tissus sont vraiment agréable à porter, on ne la sent pas ce qui rend un sentiment accru de liberté, je me sens en sécurité car j’ai simulé des chocs avec des angles de mur et des pierres, franchement ça m’a l’air d’être efficace. En revanche je n’ai pas mis 5 étoiles car je l’ai reçu avec une la protection épaule droite décousue ? Je vais faire une réclamation.
Merci au développeur de ce concept
guillaume rodrigues
Un peto super completo!la verdad me quedé impresionado con lo práctico y cómodo que es!!muy recomendable
Julio Alberto Cabillon
The armour is extremely comfortable and you can really feel the airflow through the main pads when wearing it. Considerably cooler than any competitor on the market while providing better coverage!
Even had my first proper crash in it this week in Morzine. And while the hexagonal holes did leave their mark in the form of some bad bruising on my chest, they did the job of preventing a broken rib or sternum!
Jack Fearon
Genial. Queda fantástico
Jose Raul Collado Molina
Super Passform. Bei 30° auf den 3-Länder-Endurotrails getragen und bin sehr zufrieden damit. Ein leichter Sturz auf rechte Schulter wurde gut abgefangen. Hatte zwar Abdrücke vom Protektor auf der Haut, aber keinerlei Schmerzen. Ist jetzt mein Lieblingsprotektor.
Stefan Heinz
El peto va perfecto, es cómodo y ligero, el modo climbing ayuda a no pasar calor y la camiseta es también de alta calidad, un producto fantástico, enhorabuena a los creadores y a los que se deciden a comprarlo, no hay otro igual, es el mejor que he probado.
Jose maria Becerro diaz
Super impressed, not just with the product, but also in my communications with Rockintor about sizing, etc; always prompt professional and courteous
And the gear is so legit; so much airflow for hot SoCal summer park days, and fits so good that I enjoy wearing it on shuttle/pedal days as well
I love my other branded armor, but it is only CE level 1 and I wanted something level 2. This offers more protection, and is cooler and much more functional. Can't wait for the long-sleeve base layer with elbow pads; instant buy for me
