Protectors are another important element of snowboard equipment collections; whether integrated into the garment or worn separately. Features include a high degree of functionality and increased wear comfort, reduced weight and range of motion, even temperature management, as offered by the protector vest Evoc, combining the protective function derived from motorcycle technology with the comfort characteristics provided by high-tech fibers. Another enduring, practical as well as protective option includes backpacks with integrated back protectors, ensuring that snowboarders enjoy their tours well protected against injuries.
