This product uses foam technologies that are temperature sensitive. Below 60°F ambient temperature, these materials become increasingly rigid and lose their impact-absorbing properties. In this state, the progressive compression system cannot function as designed, potentially resulting in higher impact forces being transmitted through the padding. For your safety and optimal protection performance, do not uses the DX Kuta when air temperatures drops below 60°F.

For this technology to work effectively, the chest protector must be worn tightly and snugly against the body. A loose or improperly fitted protector may create air gaps—spaces between the protector and your body—that significantly reduce the product’s ability to absorb and spread impact energy. In these cases, the material may stiffen before making full contact with the body, causing it to behave more like a hard object striking the body rather than cushioning the blow. This can lead to greater localized force and a higher risk of injury. Additionally, a poor fit may expose areas that were intended to be protected.

For your safety, always ensure the chest protector is correctly fitted and adjusted before each use. No protective equipment can eliminate all risk of injury, and this product should be inspected regularly and discontinued if damaged or worn.
