Buy ski back protector
Going on a winter sports trip? Make sure to protect yourself with a ski back protector. The back protector for winter sports is a crucial part of your winter sports gear. Besides ski goggles and a ski helmet, a back protector ensures you can enjoy the slopes even more safely. Whether you're looking for powder snow, speeding down freshly groomed slopes, or want to freestyle in the park, a back protector is there for every skier.
Why wear a back protector while skiing?
A back protector should be just like a helmet the standard when skiing and/or snowboarding. It reduces the risk of back injury without getting in your way while moving. The materials of Spine's back protectors provide a lightweight and comfortable feel while you are protected according to the official safety standard EN1621-2 Level 1. In short, why a back protector is crucial:
1. You protect yourself in case of a fall or accident on the slopes.
2. An accident can also be caused by another winter sports enthusiast, even if it's not your fault.
3. Due to technological developments and slope quality, speeds are higher and the consequences of a fall or collision are greater.

What should a ski back protector meet?
A back protector for skiing must meet a number of requirements. Protection, Comfort, and adjustability are the 3 most important requirements for a ski back protector.
1. Protection. The back protector must be sufficiently shock-absorbing and able to absorb impact in case of a collision.
2. Comfort. A back protector should not hinder you while moving. Additionally, the material must be breathable so that sweat can be effectively dissipated.
3. Adjustable. Thanks to the adjustable belly band of Spines, the back protector fits perfectly to your body and does not shift while moving.
How do I wear a ski back protector?
You always wear a ski back protector over your first layer of clothing and under your ski jacket and ski pants. We recommend wearing a thermal shirt as your first layer so you stay warm and can wick away sweat. Then, put the back protector on over the first layer, and now you're better protected! Depending on the temperature and personal preference, you can wear a second layer of clothing like a pullover or mid-layer jacket for extra warmth. As the last layer, put on your ski jacket, which keeps you dry on the slopes!
