Which back protector should I get?Updated 4 months ago
Here’s a detailed overview of our back protectors:
NoShock: Engineered with SLYTECH Foam in a honeycomb cone structure, the NoShock offers top-tier impact energy absorption (Level 2 certification). This protector excels in comfort, flexibility, and ventilation, featuring a 3-point belt for lower back support. Its thickness is approximately 3/4 inch, providing robust protection without compromising on ease of movement.
Flexi: Utilizing SLYTECH Foam in a hexagonal pattern, the Flexi is remarkably thin and lightweight while still delivering exceptional flexibility and certified impact energy absorption (Level 1 certification). At about 1/4 inch thick, it is ideal for those who prioritize a low-profile design without sacrificing safety.
Protection Levels:
- Level 2 protection, as found in the NoShock, offers higher impact absorption and is generally more robust.
- Level 1 protection, as in the Flexi, is designed for those seeking a more streamlined profile.
Choosing the Right Protector:
For Casual Skiers/Riders: If you’re new to back protectors or prefer flexibility and comfort, the Flexi Back Protector Vest or Naked might be the best fit. The choice between the vest or naked model is based on personal comfort preferences.
For Frequent Park or Urban Riders: For those hitting the park or urban environments regularly, the NoShock Back Protector Naked provides a more substantial level of protection while still being streamlined.
For High-Speed Racers: If speed is your game, the NoShock Back Protector Naked, favored by our World Cup team, offers the highest level of protection in a minimalistic design.
For Kids Under 12: Start early with the Flexi Back Protector Vest Mini or Mini Zip. These options offer suitable protection for younger riders, with the zip-up or pull-on style available based on personal preference.
