The Protections Prosurf Back Vest Black is designed to deliver effective back protection without restricting your freedom of movement. Lightweight and discreet, it fits comfortably under ski or snowboard outerwear, becoming an almost unnoticeable layer of safety on the mountain. Its ergonomic construction follows the natural shape of the body, ensuring consistent comfort even during long days of riding. By combining breathable materials with advanced impact protection technology, this back vest is ideal for riders who demand reliable protection with a flexible, natural feel.
Performance
At the core of the Prosurf Back Vest is D3O technology, a smart material that remains soft and flexible during normal use but instantly stiffens on impact. This reaction allows it to absorb and disperse energy efficiently, providing a high level of back protection without limiting mobility. The lightweight design makes it suitable for all-day use, while the stable fit keeps the protector correctly positioned during aggressive riding or repeated falls.
Functional construction
The vest is built using breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics that help regulate body temperature throughout the day. Its vest-style design makes it easy to put on and remove, while fitting seamlessly under any ski or snowboard jacket. Elastic zones improve comfort and ensure a secure, ergonomic fit without pressure points, even during dynamic movements.
Technology applied to protection
The integrated D3O back plate is the key protective element of this vest. Ultra-flexible in its natural state, the material reacts in milliseconds when subjected to an impact, hardening to absorb and store energy. This allows the vest to offer a very high level of protection for skiing and snowboarding without the bulk or rigidity of traditional hard-shell protectors.
