How to choose your body protection correctly?
The central element is the back protector: look for the CE level of protection (level 1 or level 2, the latter absorbing more impact). A vest of protection covers the back, chest and sometimes shoulders, ideal for cross-country. Prefer a breathable and well-fitted model: a protection that moves protects poorly. Check the adjustment (straps, size) and compatibility with your jacket. When worn properly, these protections significantly reduce the risk of injury to the torso and spine.

Frequently asked questions
Level 1 or level 2 back protector?
Level 2 (CE standard) absorbs more impact energy than level 1 and therefore offers better protection, for a little more rigidity. For intensive use or track riding, prefer level 2.
Is a protective vest mandatory?
It is not mandatory on the road, but highly recommended, especially off-road and on the track. It protects the back, chest and sometimes shoulders, areas that are very exposed in case of a fall.
How to properly adjust a back protector?
It should follow the spine, cover from the cervical vertebrae to the lower back and stay firmly in place thanks to the straps, without hindering movement. A well-adjusted back protector stays in place and protects effectively in case of a fall.
