Description & Features The SHRED 2nd Skin Back Protector Lite delivers lightweight, low-profile back protection for alpine ski racing. SLYTECH® 2ND SKIN™ intelligent foam stays soft and flexible as you move, then firms on impact for adaptive protection. The minimalist vest-free design uses adjustable shoulder straps and a waist belt to keep bulk low, making this ski racing back protector easy to wear close to the body under a race suit or outerwear. HexaFlow™ 3D construction combines a thin profile with ventilation and flexibility for unrestricted movement on the race course. An adjustable Velcro belt with Belt-Connector™ loops helps secure the protector at the waist, while silicone-lined Grip-On-Straps™ stabilize it at the shoulders. Certified to EN 1621-2 Level 1 for full-back protection and tested at -10°C, the SHRED 2nd Skin Back Protector Lite is designed for racers who prioritize mobility, minimal weight, and a close-to-body fit.

This adaptive construction allows the protector to move naturally with your back while providing impact protection when needed. HexaFlow™ 3D Structure HexaFlow™ uses an engineered three-dimensional hexagonal structure to balance impact performance, ventilation, flexibility, and low weight. The design minimizes unnecessary bulk while helping air move through the protector during ski race training and competition. Grip-On-Straps™ Adjustable shoulder straps feature silicone-lined Grip-On-Straps™ to help keep the protector securely positioned while allowing natural upper-body movement. The strap-based design eliminates the additional material of a vest for a lighter, less restrictive fit. Adjustable Belt & Belt-Connector™ The adjustable Velcro waist belt helps hold the protector close to the body, while Belt-Connector™ loops provide additional adjustment for a secure, personalized fit. Together with the shoulder straps, the system lets you position the protector over or under layers. EN 1621-2 Level 1 Protection The protector is certified to EN 1621-2 Level 1 FB for full-back protection. SHRED also tests the protector at -10°C to verify protective performance in cold conditions appropriate for winter sports and alpine ski racing.
