Size

Complete the kit with our Phase CE-2 Elbow and Knee Protection.

DESIGN

We approached this armor design knowing we wanted a minimalist, lightweight compression short that easily integrates in your kit under pants and base layers, and remains comfortable for full days of riding in any conditions. 

Our compression short is constructed from open mesh, moisture wicking compression fit polyester, and spandex, providing a snug compression fit that stays firmly in place, with superior comfort while riding. 

Mosko Moto partnered with RHEON™ LABS for our CE-Level 2 amor inserts. RHEON™  Armor is made from a lightweight and pliable energy-absorbing superpolymer that intelligently stiffens when subjected to force.  The name Phase 2, is a reference to the phase-changing capability of the armor. In its natural state, RHEON™ Armor it’s flexible and soft, but it firms up instantly to absorb energy in a crash.

RHEON™ LABS uses a patented algorithmic design and 3D printing process that produces a unique open cell packing design that allows for impact absorption, while still allowing air to naturally flow through the armor and around the rider. The end result is lightweight, comfortable, and cool armor that can be worn all day.

The search for armored shorts? Over,

I tried Bohn, Klim and Alpinestar. These Phase CE-2 Hip Short by Mosko have ended my search. The pads are constructed of the right non-Newtonian material, and they are shaped and placed appropriately. The fabric of the shorts seems adequate to the task and the seams are triple stitched and flat. I'd like a coccyx pad, and maybe another on the thighs, but given my riding style (bi-polar grandma), they are definitely adequate to the task, the best I have tried as of summer 2025... and not insanely priced. Thanks guys.

Nice underarmor

Fits well, all day comfortable, never remember I'm wearing them. Provides some cushion where you normally don't get any from regular pants. Fits over the top of your leg bone. not the hip bone, just where normal impacts happen if falling to the side. Happy I have them, wear them every ride.

Light, easy to move and comfortable

I bought these armoured shorts for trail riding and have been seriously impressed! They fit well, are very comfortable and you don’t really notice them once you’re wearing your kit, unlike other ones I’ve tried. The armour is so light and flexible. Also great customer service from Mosko too.
