BACK PROTECTOR
Protect your spine with minimal material. D3O back plates, a hook-and-loop belt to keep it in place, and that’s it.
Why choose it
- D3O back plates.
- Hook-and-loop belt for a secure fit.
- Breathable: mesh inserts, soft linings, flat seams.
- CE EN 1621-2:2012 standard.
D3O technology: soft like modeling clay at rest, this material locks in less than 10 milliseconds upon impact, absorbs and disperses shock energy, then returns to a flexible state.
For whom?
- Skiers and snowboarders who want to protect their back without wearing a vest.
- Combine with the full D3O shorts to also protect the hips and tailbone.
Which one to choose?
- Back protector (€85 to €89): the back, held by a hook-and-loop belt.
- D3O protective jersey (€89): back and shoulders, worn as a base layer.
- Back protector vest (€105): the most versatile, zippered, the only one in child sizes.
- Ultra-light back protector vest (€109): the lightest, with RECCO system.
- Full back protector vest (€155): back, shoulders, and elbows.
