back-protector
Hi,
my son (9 years, 120 cm) wants a back protector for skiing and snowboarding. Do I have to take care of anything, or are all protectors more or less ok? Thanks, Hermann |

Snowboarders some times use butt pad, wrist guards & helmet but I never heard of a back protector and especially for skiing. Now if his son is doing some sort of quasi military combat training with full contact maneuvers. I guess maybe his son is playing too many video games. JQ Dancing on the edge |

Thanks, Hermann What is a back protector? I've seen 'em used by racers in speed events...sorta ninja turtle armor. I don't know why a 9 year old would want one. |

I don't know why a 9 year old would want one. My guess would be because the racers wear it. Maybe the kids think it's cool. Janet |

(skiing) If the kid is trying back flips and stuff like that, a back protector doesn't sound like the worst idea. Although I'd imagine it would get in the way of the flex you need to do them. -- monique Longmont, CO |
