Are pads recommended for skiing and snowboarding?

If you have ever tried riding in a terrain park and attempted sliding on a rail, you probably know that falling can be really painful. Same thing if you are into racing. If you want to be the first to reach the finish line, you sometimes have to take risks, and taking risks implies falling. If you want to keep your knees and elbows safe, protect them!

Skiing and snowboarding knee pads

There are specific brands that are expert in this field. The ones that first come to mind are Dainese and TSG, both making protective gear for skiing or snowboarding. All of these manufacturers must make products that stick to the EN1621-1 standard. It defines precisely the minimal shock absorbtion a shell must provide to protect a knee efficiently. Knee protectors' straps are generally made of stretchable materials so they can adapt to every shape of knee and allow optimal range of motion. It must not be too tight nor too loose. It must be comfortable to wear. And it’s on comfort that high-end products make the difference compared to basic models. A good product must hold firmly but it should not block your blood flow. You should feel it but it shouldn’t be painful to wear. Thanks to modern flexible materials, high-end foam and well-designed straps, the latest models are comfortable to wear.

Spare your elbows when on the skis or board

If you want to hit the park's black line with confidence, build yourself an armour. Back, knees, head and elbows are parts of the body that you want to protect as they are either the most fragile ones or the ones on which you fall most of the time. And you know how hard the snow can be in a terrain park. Your elbows will say thank you if you protect them. Mastering a trick requires practice. You will have to try and try and try again to learn, and learning involves falling and falling involves pain. We can’t help you to avoid falling, but we can help skipping the pain part. Buy elbow pads. Like knee pads, their straps are made of stretchable materials offering mobility and comfort. Try to wear some once and you’ll never want to take them off ever again.
