Description & Features
The SHRED 2nd Skin Back Protector Lite Vest delivers lightweight, low-profile protection for alpine ski racing. This flexible ski racing back protector uses SLYTECH® 2ND SKIN™ intelligent foam to move naturally with your body and firm on impact, providing adaptive protection without the bulk of a rigid protector.
The HexaFlow™ 3D structure reduces bulk and weight while improving airflow and flexibility. A super-stretch nylon vest keeps the protector close to your body, while the YKK® front zipper and dual Velcro side adjustments make it easy to dial in a secure fit. Certified to EN 1621-2 Level 1 for full-back protection and tested at -10°C, the SHRED 2nd Skin Back Protector Lite Vest provides flexible coverage built for demanding days on the race course.

Construction & Technology
SLYTECH® 2ND SKIN™
Developed with the MIT Sports Lab, SLYTECH® 2ND SKIN™ is a proprietary intelligent foam designed to remain soft and pliable during normal movement and firm on impact. This adaptive behavior provides impact protection while allowing the protector to move naturally with your back.
HexaFlow™ 3D Structure
SHRED's three-dimensional hexagonal protector structure is engineered to balance impact performance, ventilation, flexibility, and low weight. The open structure helps reduce bulk while allowing airflow through the protector.
Precision Vest Fit
The super-stretch nylon vest holds the protector close to the body while maintaining freedom of movement. A YKK® front zipper makes the vest easy to put on and remove, while dual Velcro side adjustments allow you to fine-tune the fit.
EN 1621-2 Level 1 Protection
The back protector is certified to EN 1621-2 Level 1 for full-back protection. SHRED also tests the protector at -10°C to verify protective performance in cold conditions appropriate for winter sports use.
