9. ALPINA SPORTS Proshield Men Vest
An afternoon ski day that is not unusual: The slope, which was nicely ridged and grippy in the morning, now resembles a mogul field, with ice patches lurking underneath and the sun hanging low in the sky. Unfortunately, falls are often part of the experience here. Therefore, it's important to protect what needs protecting. While a helmet has become mandatory, only a few skiers wear a protector. However, it replaces a layer of clothing, is breathable, comfortable to wear, and protects the spine from more serious injuries. With the Proshield, Alpina elevates the standard for entry-level protectors to a new level, making protectors a standard part of skiing.
10. ION E-Pact
Does anybody have arms stretched out driving downhill? Certainly not. Therefore, ION has preformed the E_Pact with a diffraction angle of almost 90°. This fit avoids drapery as well as incision of the mesh material in the crook of the arm and thus premature fatigue. Since freedom of movement is essential for intuitive steering manoeuvres, the E_Pact relies on a combination of viscoelastic foam materials and a hard shell. The high-quality HD_Memory Foam optimally adapts to the body contour and has proven its longevity at ION over years in kitesurfing hip belts. The hard shell takes the fright out of pointed stones, distributes the kinetic energy of an impact over a large area and gives the schooner a slim visual appearance thanks to the thin padding used.
