SHRED 2ND SKIN Back Protector Lite – Lightweight Protection You Can Trust
Are you looking for a back protector that offers certified protection without weighing you down? The SHRED 2ND SKIN Back Protector Lite is designed for skiers and snowboarders who prioritize freedom of movement, breathability, and safety—without even noticing it’s there.
Lightweight, flexible, and safety-certified
At its core lies SLYTECH® 2ND SKIN™, a proprietary foam that remains soft and flexible while riding but hardens instantly upon impact to absorb and dissipate energy. Paired with AirFlex™ 3D hexagonal technology, the protector offers outstanding breathability, flexibility, and reduced weight. It meets the EN 1621-2 Level 1 standard (for full back motorcycle protectors) while remaining incredibly unobtrusive.
Stay in control – even in the cold
Anti-slip shoulder straps, an adjustable Velcro waist belt, and a lightweight construction keep the protector securely in place, even during aggressive riding. It’s also cold-tested down to -20°C, making it fully reliable for alpine environments.
Summary:
The SHRED 2ND SKIN Back Protector Lite is a lightweight, flexible, and safety-certified back protector for skiers and snowboarders who want effective impact protection without sacrificing comfort. A perfect choice for all-day riding with zero distractions.
