Snowboard Back Protectors

Is it Worth Wearing Back Protectors for Snowboarding?

To enhance your protection while snowboarding, this gear is worthwhile. Although many snowboarders sustain injuries to their wrists, knees, and shoulders, back injuries pose a significantly higher risk. Recently, as awareness of these injuries has grown, both skiers and snowboarders have increasingly opted to wear back protectors. Simultaneously, brands have strived to design low-profile models that remain discreet beneath a snowboard jacket.

Snowboard back protectors feature padding extending from the neck to the tailbone, with varying levels of padding depending on the model. As indicated by their names, snowboard spine protectors offer padding particularly around the spine, whereas back protectors are larger, covering the entire back. In addition to the padding, ski and snowboard back protectors use velcro and zip fastenings and are encased in a breathable mesh fabric that wraps around the body for a snug and comfortable fit.
