Skiing body armour and snowboarding body armour comes in various forms like impact shorts, impact tops, helmets,
wrist guards, knee pads, spine guards and it is all there to do one thing; protect you against impact from falls and
crashes.
Modern protective clothing or body armour is light weight, comfortable to wear and increasingly effective against the
little falls and some big ones, due to improved technology in absorption material construction.
It's not just beginners that are in need of impact protection, sure they tend to fall a lot when learning but
experienced riders, off piste explorers and of course park rats also benefit from wearing protective clothing.
