It seems a bit of a let-down, then, to learn the Kudu doesn’t include a reservoir, but its price puts it right in among its competitors, where bladders are often omitted.

Impact protection was developed in conjunction with Austrian snow sports protection specialist Komperdell. It consists of three layers of vulcanised tempered foam, which are spot glued together to allow the layers to flex more than a single solid layer. It exceeds level 2 of the European EN1621-2 motorcycle armour certification too, meaning it transmits only half the impact energy of the more common level 1 protection and can absorb multiple impacts.

Spine protection comes in the form of three layers of vulcanised tempered foam, which are bound down the middle with glue.
