Although the safety of the equipment being built has increased, professional snowboarders continue to take on the challenges, including jumping over big kickers that are tens of meters high and performing difficult spins, despite the risk of being slammed into the snow if they lose their balance.
That is whyThey also have a high level of safety awareness.
Helmets are mandatory during the competition, and each athlete wears protective gear to protect themselves.
Of course, the options players have to choose from are naturally limited to those with superior performance.
Additionally, the Protector brand has made numerous improvements based on feedback from team riders.
In addition to its basic performance of protecting the body from impact, details such as comfort and ease of use have been adjusted, making it the best protector available.
In other words, protectors that are used by many professional riders are highly reliable in terms of performance,
There is no doubt that this is the best protection for average snowboarders as well.
High-performance model that can withstand hard impacts
ARK is a protective gear that is favored by many professional riders.
It is used by many professional riders, including Yuuri Okubo, Kaito Hamada, Ruki Tobita, Sena Tomita, and Ruki Tomita.
High-performance models such as the "MS, MSL series" feature a five-layered padding on the hips that is made up of specially molded EVA FORM, PF-01 FORM and 3D AIR Mesh of different thicknesses.
Furthermore, the German company SAS-TEC originally developed this product to protect against the harsh shocks of motorcycle sports. The company's lineup of high-end models includes protectors with excellent performance, such as the premium model "STC Series" equipped with SAS-TEC pads that have the "instant hardening" property to soften weak shocks and firmly absorb strong shocks.

LS and LSG series with emphasis on ease of use
Professional riders do not only favor high-end models, but also favor lightweight series such as LS and LSG, which prioritize ease of movement depending on the application.
It seems that many riders choose the LS or LSG ARK protectors, which provide solid basic protection for freeriding, freestyle tricks, and the park that they are familiar with through regular practice.
This is probably because even the lighter series provides thorough protection in areas that need it, with thorough design to ensure there are no gaps in the padding and wide knee pads that provide support by wrapping around both sides of the knee.

A protector is something that protects your body in an emergency.
There's no point in wearing it if it doesn't function properly when it's actually subjected to impact.
That's why it's an item that you should choose carefully.
And before you buy one, make sure it fits your body perfectly.
For example, ARK's LSG series comes in 100 different sizes, from 10 and XXS for kids and juniors, to XS to XL, and WS to WL for women. Be sure to choose a size that fits you perfectly, so that it's not too tight or too loose and the pads don't slip out of place.
