Shift FAQ's
Yup. Both the RHEON insert and garment itself are fine to throw in the washing machine.
Best to machine wash cold, and avoid the dryer completely.
Due to the nature of the materials, they dry pretty quickly when hung to dry.
The Shift has been rigorously tested to not only pass, but exceed CE certifications, not to mention additional testing by RHEON labs.
Shift Knee exceeds EN 1621-1:2012 Level 2 impact certification.
Shift Elbow exceeds EN 1621-1:2012 Level 1 impact certification.
Yes actually! We've found folding over the stretchy top band, so that the grip strips face out really helps getting the pads off. It even prolongs the life of the pads, as you don't have to wrestle with them to get them off.
While they both exceed EN 1621-1:2012 Level 2 impact certification, the Rift offers more comprehensive protection and security over the Shift.
If your priority is protection, go for the Rift. If your priority is pedalling, go for the Shift.
Put another way, the Shift is aimed at "trail" rifing, the Rift is aimed at "enduro".
