For protection that goes beyond what a standard roost deflector can provide, the EVS Youth Comp Suit is going to have full-torso protection that’s great for track riding, trail riding, and even cross training if your child spends time on a mountain bike. The differences of the Youth Comp are easy to see when you compare it with other types of rider protection.
First off, everything is built on a highly ventilated mesh chassis that flows a very large amount of air and works well in hot weather. And while it would seem like this base layer would make the suit hard to put on, there’s actually an entry zipper along the side of the chest that runs down the suit’s entire length. So putting the Youth Comp Suit on is significantly easier than a pullover deflector because it’ll actually slip on just like a coat or jacket. Once your child is wearing it, you’ll appreciate just how much impact protection it really has.
Hard plastic panels are found on the chest and shoulders like most deflectors, but the Youth Comp also has hard protection on both the elbow and forearm—protection you simply don’t get from stand-alone chest protectors. There’s above-average protection on the back as well from a segmented spine protector that reaches from the top of the shoulder blades down to the small of the back where impact foam extends over the kidneys. This level of impact mitigation is hard to beat, and with the suit’s neck brace compatibility tossed in, the EVS Youth Comp Suit stands as one of the most protective roost deflectors that’s currently offered for kids.
