What is ARK's idea of ​​a protector that protects the lower body for snowboarders?

Lower body protector that you want to equip at least

I lost my balance at the landing with the kicker of the park and fell.You can hit your feet strongly against boxes and rails with jib items, or you can catch the edges with Gratley and hit the snow surface at unexpected timings.Even in a carving turn, the more you attack the riding by hitting the reverse edge, the higher the risk of receiving various damages.
Therefore, protectors play an active role in protecting oneself.Of course, I think that the upper body should also be worn, but in order to minimize the damage without being hit by a big impact due to hard snow such as ice burn, the lower body protector should be worn at least.
The points are the pads around the waist and the pads around the knees.It is very important that these work well.
<Waist circumference>
Impact absorption of the butt pad
Of course, the higher the shock absorption capacity, the better.However, it is important not to interfere with ease of movement.Is it equipped with a pad that can firmly protect the coccyx?In addition, select a product that does not cause the waist pad to shift when it receives an impact, or open between the pads to create an unprotected area.
<Around the knee>
Can you firmly support your knees without slipping?
Don't just rest assured that your knee pads are on.In particular, the knee pad is easy to slip, so it is important to be able to firmly support the side of the knee.Also, pay attention to whether there is a function that can support impacts from the side.

And another thing to worry about is that the protector does not make the silhouette of the entire wear look awkward.Choose a protector that is smart yet provides solid support.

A material with excellent cushioning properties and excellent impact repulsion, dispersion, and absorption.It is lightweight, has excellent tear resistance, and has low heat insulation, low thermal conductivity, and excellent heat retention.Since it has a non-water-absorbing, closed-cell structure, it does not accumulate moisture in the pad, has excellent water resistance, and is less likely to deteriorate or deteriorate due to sunlight, wind and rain, and temperature changes.


3D AIR MESH >
