Who needs extra protection?
Beginners
In your first days you'll fall a lot on your backside and knees. Crash pants and knee pads make those falls a lot less painful, so you keep going longer and learn faster.
Park riders
Jumps, rails and boxes mean harder falls. A back protector and crash pants give you the confidence to try new tricks.
Kids
A helmet is a must for kids. We also carry back protectors in junior sizes.
Protection that fits under your kit
Protection only works if it sits in the right place. A back protector should fit snugly against your back without riding up, and crash pants go under your snowboard pants, so allow a bit of room there. Try your helmet and goggles together: there should be no gap between the two, or your forehead will freeze.
How much does good snowboard protection cost?
- Helmet: from about €60, with MIPS models from about €90.

Frequently asked questions about snowboard protection
Where can I buy snowboard protection in Belgium?
In our shop in Oudenaarde, or online right here. In store you can try helmets, goggles and protectors together; online we deliver across Belgium and the rest of Europe.
Is a helmet required for snowboarding?
Rules differ per country and sometimes per resort, especially for kids. Check what applies at your destination. Regardless of the rules, we recommend a helmet for everyone.
Do I need a back protector as a beginner?
It's not a must, but it does make falls more comfortable. For beginners, crash pants are often the most useful extra, because you fall on your backside a lot in the first days.
Does protection wear out?
Yes. Replace your helmet after a hard impact, even if you can't see any damage, and after about five years of use. Check back protectors and crash pants for tears and compressed foam every season.
