Both cover back, spine, shoulders, chest and elbows in one lightweight under-jacket layer — RZ Labs foam over a recycled D3O® RF underlay. Zero Plus adds rib padding and adjustable elbow straps for more coverage and a locked-in fit.

Zero is for

Riders who want more than a back-and-spine vest but don't need a full impact top — the middle ground most people actually want.

Zero Plus is for

Riders who want a little more coverage and a locked-in fit — rib padding and strapped elbows, still low-profile enough to disappear under a jacket.
