The year was 1985...As the story goes, a motocross rider that injured his knee one too many times decided that the everyday pain he was going through was enough! Out of this an idea was born, I'll make a product that will protect my knees while I ride. This was the birth of genius and a company that is focused on keeping riders in one piece. The original product, the AMX-5 knee brace, which has been worn by some of the world's most prestigious athletes was the building block for today's most complete extreme protection product line ever. And with extreme athletes plagued by the injuries of increased speed and fierce competition....EVS product development was excelerated.. EVS has spent the past 2 decades solely focused on the safety of you.
