What are the different BioMex versions inside LEVEL snowboard gloves?

There are four different versions of the BioMex wrist guards, each with a specific purpose:

BioMex - the standard version that is inside the LEVEL Fly Gloves, Fly Mittens, Fly Trigger, and Super Carve. This version was the original and continues to provide excellent and proven wrist protection for thousands of snowboarders.
BioMex Plus - the improved version includes additional padding on the palm side of the guard, to enhance impact protection and improve comfort. It's a nice upgrade that appears in all of the Half Pipe series of gloves and mittens, as well as the Super Pipes.
Women's BioMex - in the women's snowboard gloves models - the LEVEL Butterfly Gloves and Mittens, and the Women's Half Pipe Gloves and Mittens, the BioMex guard is slightly smaller and is designed to flex more readily. This is engineered to optimize wrist protection for the typically smaller hands and lighter weight of female snowboarders.
Youth BioMex - in the youth LEVEL Fly Junior Gloves and Fly Junior Mittens. Similar to the women's version, the youth BioMex guard is slightly smaller and is designed to flex more readily. The youth guard is designed for optimum wrist protection for the smaller hands and lighter weight of younger snowboarders.
