Protections - Back protectors
Ski with protection
Alpinstore does everything in its power to ensure your safety on and off the slopes. That's why we've chosen to present you with a range of protective gear, whether in a vest or not, for optimum safety. Riding downhill is great, but riding downhill protected is even better! To find out more about back protectors, read on...
Back protectors are becoming increasingly popular, especially among children. You know that little ones don't pay attention to their movements, and they're big fans of speed. You're far away and you see him pirouetting down the track? Will he come out of this fall unscathed? That's the question.
To avoid sweat drops on the slopes, opt for back protection. Equally effective for adults and children, this accessory is both safe and discreet. It can be worn under a jacket or under an undershirt, so that it sits snugly against the back.
The protective jacket
This protection comes in the form of a vest padded in the most sensitive areas. It's easy to put on, like a vest, and closes quickly. This means the vest is optimally positioned, as nothing can get on or off your back.
Note that long-sleeved protective jackets such as the VPD Air Comp jacket by Poc for example, offer all-round protection. Both back and arms are protected from impact.
Our brands Arva, Cairn, Komperdell Scott and POC vests and back protectors offer you protective vests that are more incredible than ever. Trendy and practical, you'll love them.
Support with side straps
This protection is translated by protective plates held against your back, by a system of straps that meet at the bottom of your belly and/or shoulder straps. This system is very easy to use, as it's the same as a waist belt on a backpack, for example.
A little advice from Alpinstore
Once you've selected the model you want, whether or not it's a jacket, you need to choose the size of the back protector. This criterion is not complicated! For optimum comfort, the protection should not be too long. Ideally, it should stop at the bottom of your neck (at shoulder level) to prevent neck injuries in the event of a fall, and go as far down as your coccyx. You can complete your protection with wrist and arm protection for safe skiing.
You know all about back protectors, so trust us: if you try it, you'll love it!
