ION Protection Short Plus Scrub Amp Unisex | MTB Padded Liner Shorts

ION Protection Short Plus Scrub Amp

If you want extra protection without bulky armour, the ION Protection Short Plus Scrub Amp is the sweet spot. These are low-profile liner shorts with built-in impact protection — designed to be worn under your riding shorts without feeling like full body armour.

They add just enough coverage where it matters most, without killing comfort on longer rides.

Key Features

• SAS-TEC impact padding – shock-absorbing protection on thighs and tailbone
• CE Level 1 certified protection – light impact protection for everyday riding
• SQlab chamois pad – proper comfort for long days in the saddle
• Low-profile design – fits under baggies without bulk
• Stretch + breathable fabrics – moves with you and doesn’t overheat easily
• Elastic waistband – secure, simple fit

Why These Work

Most riders don’t want full armour all the time. These give you:

• Protection for hips, thighs, and tailbone
• Comfort close to a normal liner
• Enough coverage to take the sting out of crashes

They’re ideal for riders who want a “just in case” layer, not full DH armour.

Fit & Feel

• Tight / liner fit – designed to sit under MTB shorts
• Feels similar to a standard chamois liner with added padding
• Works best for trail, enduro, and light bike park use

Materials

• Main: 82% Polyester / 18% Elastane
• Inserts: Polyamide / Elastane blends for durability and stretch

Real-World Positioning 

These sit between:

• Basic liners → no protection
• Full armoured shorts → bulky, hot

The Scrub Amp = lightweight protection you’ll actually wear regularly
