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


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.
