If you’re a hardcore snowboarder or skier that’s into cliff jumping and other tricks, you might want to look into the body armor created at POC labs. They’ve worked with a number of back specialists to design accessories that assure the protection of your spine and body.
POC bases their body armor designs on the beetle. POC is heavily into biometrics and with over 350,000 known species, they believe the beetle is most strikingly successful.
“It’s hard but flexible external skeleton provides armored protection for vital organs while allowing free movement.”
Sounds like solid body protection with good looks to match!

wish they had this when I first began snowboarding, I fell so many time I could have used the protection.

I wonder how well the spine protection works. That part seems the hardest to fit each individual body.
I do like the shoulder pads and goggles they have though.

I hate the mesh net thing, but I like the concept though. I guess I will try that before I head to Aspen.

that thing must cost a fortune. I know one guy would have made good use of that, “before” he injured his spleen off a jump. Still, really good guys won’t want to use it because they are “really good” and this thing would deflate their ego too :).
… I think only really really extreme backcountry types who do extreme skiing/boarding would use this. Which would be a small fraction of the population I would imagine.
