ARK's high-performance protector used by top riders ~ ARK / SG HIP PROTECTOR, SS BODY PROTECTOR

Many of the top riders in Japan are now active at the world level.They show us high-difficulty and large-scale tricks and inspire us while facing our limits.The tricks of high difficulty are, of course, practiced many times, challenged and mastered.In recent years, it has become possible to create an approximate performance feeling at an air mat practice facility before suddenly trying on the snow, and although the risk has been reduced a little, it is not easy to learn.The situation is different for each item you try, and the risk of failure on the actual snow must be taken for granted.That is why riders seriously choose protectors with good performance.
Yuri Okubo, who has participated in the slopestyle of the Pyeongchang Olympics as a representative of Japan and is now widely active as a professional rider, is one of the riders who continues to use ARK.He sent me the following message:
-What is the appeal of ARK?
"ARK's products are well made, so it's very encouraging when you fly big jumps. It doesn't hurt so much even if you fall. That's a good point. It's really recommended for people who don't like to hurt. I love SG HIP LONG, but I like it because it's very light and easy to move without being too rugged.
-What about this season?
"I'm thinking of slipping down, mainly shooting, so I'd like everyone to see the completed video.

SG HIP PROTECTOR LONG / SHORT

Sufficient support while having a smart silhouette

The SG series has received a lot of attention in this year's ARK lineup.This SG series, which is also used by Yuri Okubo, is lightweight and has good mobility, and it is smartly made so that the silhouette does not collapse even with slim pants.Moreover, it uses an excellent material called PF-01 that absorbs, disperses, and repels shocks even with the minimum required thickness, and a high-quality material called 3D AIR MESH that absorbs and disperses shocks and maintains comfort without getting stuffy. .. The hip part of SG HIP PROTECTOR adopts a special pad of 3D sewing so that the space between the pads does not open, and the performance can be demonstrated more efficiently.In addition, the knee part covers the side bones and fits firmly without slippage.It responds to intense riding movements without stress.It can be said that ARK's uniqueness is that it is particular about the creation of these details.
In addition, this SG HIP PROTECTOR protects your body well while making it smart, so it is also ideal for gratri.It is highly evaluated that it does not cause stress even in fine board handling, and it is gaining popularity as a must-have item for gratri riders.Moreover, there are many sizes for juniors, women and men.The price is also quite reasonable.It is a model that I would like to recommend to snowboarders who aim to improve their skills.

SS BODY PROTECTOR

Perfect body protector born from ARK rider feedback

SS BODY PROTECTOR was born from the desire of ARK riders to always slide comfortably while protecting their bodies from strong impacts on the upper body.PF-1, which absorbs, disperses, and repels shocks with the minimum required layer, protects the body from shocks, and when combined with 01D AIR MESH, it enhances breathability and keeps a comfortable feeling.Of course, the entire jacket is made of stretch material and has an excellent fit.The biggest advantage of ARK is that the putts of each part do not shift even with vigorous movements.We want you to experience the good feeling of the item that was born from the feedback from many riders.
