The winter season has finally begun.This year is not a warm winter like last year, but it seems that it will snow properly, so I want to be careful about coronavirus and slip hard.Feelings will gradually increase like that.However, don't let your tension suddenly rise and overdo it, and you won't get hurt at the beginning of the season.Yes, an item called a protector greatly reduces such risks.Recently, many people are wearing it, but the protector itself has evolved and become slimmer.As a matter of fact, the silhouette of the garment is no longer broken, so it seems that many people are not aware that they are using it.Even a slim pad has sufficient impact absorption because it has sufficient shock absorption even with a thin pad instead of the thick pad as it used to be.And if you want to wear it, you should choose a high-performance protector.Therefore, we recommend the ARK protector.After all, the fact that it is used by many of the world-class professional riders such as Yuri Okubo, Kaito Hamada, and Ruki Tobita shows its high reliability.
Meanwhile, this time I asked Saori KUMA, a girl rider who is active in the Gratley scene, about the protector of ARK.
ARK protector
Reduces fear and increases concentration by KUMA Saori
I think protectors are very important.If you wear it, you can slide on the snowboard without being afraid.It softens the impact of a fall and reduces the fear of feelings.That's why I can concentrate on slipping.
I always use ARK's LS HIP PROTECTOR LONG.I use this protector because it protects the area around the pelvis.In particular, I often hear that the coccyx can crack with a slight stimulus, so I think the protector is very important.It fits your body even with the fine movements of Gratley, so you can move without any discomfort, and it feels warm to wear.Moreover, even if you sweat, you won't get stuffy.That's why they are very active in the high season.
I think ARK's products are attractive because they are designed so that they do not interfere with performance and they protect the body from impacts.I also have no bruises since I wore ARK.I think it is very important to protect yourself from injury in advance in order to enjoy snowboarding more.Please give it a try.

The double adoption of PF-3 FORM and 01D AIR MESH enables shock absorption, repulsion, and dispersion that could not be achieved with conventional soft foam.Also, by wearing an inner belt, the back pad is fixed in an appropriate position.Furthermore, the position of the elbow adopts an independent type.
