Back protectors are essential for skiers, snowboarders and two-wheel enthusiasts, helping to minimise the risk of back injuries.
Its back protectors typically come in the form of vests or pads that can be worn underneath a jacket and are designed to provide impact resistance and protection for the spine and lower back.
Key Features:
Lightweight – designed to be lightweight and ergonomic, ensuring they do not restrict movement or comfort during activities.
Impact Resistance – constructed with materials that absorb and disperse impact forces, reducing the risk of back injuries in the event of a fall or collision. They also have unlimited multiple impact capability meaning they do not need to be replaced after a fall.
Adjustable Fit – Many come with adjustable straps or closures to ensure a secure and comfortable fit for various body sizes.
Breathability – the protectors often incorporate breathable fabrics to help regulate body temperature keeping the wearer dry during intense physical activity. They can also be easily washed at 30C and will look and feel as good as new.
Compatibility – designed to be compatible with outdoor garments fitting comfortably under most jackets. Some are specifically designed for multiple sports, e.g. bike and ski, so can be used in both winter and summer.
