Snowboard Back Protectors

Is It Sensible to Wear Back Protectors for Snowboarding?

Enhancing your safety while snowboarding can be achieved with this protective gear, which is indeed worthwhile. Numerous snowboarders experience injuries to their wrists, knees, and shoulders, and while these can cause discomfort, back injuries pose a far greater threat. In recent times, both skiers and snowboarders have opted to don back protectors as awareness regarding injuries has grown. Concurrently, brands have endeavoured to develop low profile models that remain discreetly tucked away under a snowboard jacket.

Snowboard back protectors feature padding that extends from the neck down to the tailbone, with the level of padding differing between models. As implied by their names, snowboard spine protectors offer padding near the spine, whereas back protectors are larger and shield the entire back. Beyond the padding, snowboard and ski back protectors are equipped with velcro and zip fastenings, utilising a breathable mesh material to enclose the body for a snug and pleasant fit.
