An injury on the ski slopes can have many different levels of impact on your life, from bringing your ski holiday to an abrupt end to something that impacts your life for a longer period once you’re back home.
As those who have suffered an injury will tell you, it’s important, therefore, both to ensure you’re as fit an loosened up as you can be before you start skiing and that you protect your body on the slopes.
That means lots of pre-holiday exercise, properly warming up on the day, and investing in the best protective gear to wear, such as the D3O® Ghost™ Reactive, available from Decathlon stores and online, to protect your back.
Unlike other back protectors, the D3O® Ghost™ Reactive contains a foam developed with D3O®, which stiffens on impact. It means that the harder you fall, the more it protects you.
There’s a video explaining how it was created here.
Hopefully you’ll never need to find out just how well it works but its good to know that the protection is there.
The D3O® Ghost™ Reactive doesn’t just work well though, it feels good too having been designed to enable genuine freedom of movement, so you can quickly forget you’re wearing it.
It’s also worth noting this back protector can be used in a huge range of sports beyond skiing, anything from biking to horse riding, anywhere where you might need its protection in fact.
