All our products incorporate fiber energy absorption material into each piece created in our Los Angeles factory. The Celtyx Shield is made with material composed of short nylon fibers driven upright into an adhesive coated fabric using an electric field, then two flocked surfaces are brought together to create an interlocking forest of fibers. The result is a thin pad 3mm- 6 mm) that manages energy under compression and shear.

Under load, many fibers bend and recover, while others rub and slide. That mix of buckling and friction spreads incoming energy over time and area, which reduces peak forces and helps manage rotational components that matter in real impacts.

Since the 1960s, foams have handled compression only. Real impacts also involve shear. The Celtyx fiber field is tuned for both, which is why the lab focused on shear loading under realistic pre-compression conditions and where we prove it works under real time duress under saddle in all conditions and on all terrains.
