Snowboard Back Protectors

Are Back Protectors Necessary for Snowboarding?

To enhance your safety on the slopes, investing in this protective gear is advisable. While snowboarders commonly suffer from wrist, knee, and shoulder injuries, those affecting the back are considered more serious. Heightened awareness around injuries has led more skiers and snowboarders to opt for back protectors. Simultaneously, companies have innovated to produce low-profile models that remain discreet under a snowboard jacket.

Snowboard back protectors are crafted with cushioning extending from the neck to the tailbone, with varying amounts depending on the model. As indicated by their names, snowboard spine protectors have padding concentrated near the spine, whereas back protectors offer broader protection, covering the entire back. In addition to the padding, snowboard and ski back protectors feature velcro and zip fastenings, with a breathable mesh surrounding the body for a snug and comfy fit.
