SKI BODY ARMOUR

Whether you’re pushing limits in the park, riding off-piste, or simply seeking extra security while learning, body armour is an essential part of any skier’s safety kit. Snow+Rock's range covers everything from padded impact shorts that shield your hips, thighs, and tailbone from hard falls, to flexible spine protectors designed to absorb impacts and support your back during high-speed descents and jumps. Many models use lightweight, breathable materials and ergonomic panelling for unobtrusive comfort, allowing full freedom of movement without restricting performance.

Modern ski body armour often includes segments of shock-absorbing foam or advanced polymer materials that contour to your body, hardening on impact to minimise injury risk. Adjustable straps and slimline fits make it easy to layer beneath outerwear, while ventilated mesh panels help regulate temperature during intense mountain activity. Wrist guards and reinforced gloves provide vital protection against common falls, reducing the chance of sprains and fractures, especially valuable for beginners and park skiers.

Some products also feature removable padding for custom coverage, moisture-wicking liners to keep skin dry, and impact certification from leading standards such as EN 1621 for spine protectors. With options for all ages and skill levels, our body armour ensures you can ride, jump, and enjoy every run with confidence, knowing you’re protected against the unexpected.

Ski body armour includes back protectors, spine guards, and pads for knees, elbows, hips, and buttocks. Back protectors come as vests, strapped pads, or backpack liners, while pads are available in hard shell, foam, or gel materials. Each type offers different levels of protection, comfort, and flexibility, allowing skiers to choose based on their needs and skiing style. 

Body armour absorbs and disperses impact energy during falls or collisions, reducing the risk of injury to the spine, joints, and soft tissues. High-quality protectors use materials like viscoelastic foam or advanced gels that remain flexible during movement but harden instantly upon impact, offering effective protection without restricting mobility. 

Modern ski body armour is designed to be lightweight, breathable, and ergonomic. Many users report forgetting they’re even wearing it due to its adaptability and comfort. Vest-style or soft shell protectors fit closely to the body, move with you, and often add a layer of warmth without causing overheating or bulkiness. 

Body armour should fit snugly and close to the body without restricting movement. Straps or silicone bands prevent shifting, and the protector should not ride up when sitting or skiing downhill. Proper fit is crucial; ill-fitting armour can reduce effectiveness and compromise safety. 

Ski body armour is recommended for racers, freestyle and park skiers, backcountry adventurers, and anyone seeking extra protection - especially those prone to falls or learning new tricks. It’s also a good choice for children and less experienced skiers who want added peace of mind on the slopes. 

Yes, ski body armour is tested and certified to European safety standards, ensuring it meets minimum impact absorption and durability requirements. Always look for certified products to guarantee reliable protection in the event of a fall or collision.
