How it is built
A padded cover in saturated hazard orange with a charcoal contrast panel and two reflective bands. The 4 mm closed-cell EVA core is the same as the padded covers; the difference is that this one is impossible to mistake for anybody else's.
Suits these shells
- Hard shell, polycarbonate
- Flexes under load and springs back. Takes surface scuffing more than cracking.
- Hard shell, ABS
- Stiffer and more brittle than polycarbonate. Corners are the usual failure point.
- Soft side, fabric
- Absorbs impact but scuffs and tears. Zippers and handles take the strain.
