TEST: Back protector by Wed'ze

The protection that we test today is on sale in stores Decathlon and online, is very spartan, with the synthetic polymer foam to absorb shock in evidence on the outside, while the part in contact with the back is of semi-rigid material.Into It features two adjustable straps with chest strap to prevent them from space, with adjustable elastic. In life we find an elastic band with Velcro in order to accommodate comfortably the protection and adjust the height.

If adjustments are good, the convenience of the same not at the top, and this for two reasons.
On the one hand the rigid part in contact with the back in the first minutes in which the door gives , discomfort, a feeling that slowly fades, but not quite. It has the feeling of having a foreign body resting on the back.
This is due to the fact that the protection is made with a single piece and not into several parts between them manageable, as the plates separated from other products : the same Wed'ze produces a back protector plates with plastic separated.

The second fact that needs to be done in this product is that, in fact, it is impossible to use with ski pants without suspenders. The protection is in fact very thick at the pelvis level and fails to slip snugly under the trousers, indeed, tends to exit at any bending. If this is probably not an obstacle for snowboarders (due to the very large trousers and ski different, with less use of the torso) for us skiers becomes very difficult to manage, not always having the braces in the pants. Into The breathability, as with any back protector, not at the top and after a day of use, inevitably, will feel the dampness on the protected area. Into The positives definitely fits the high degree of protection that the double layer is able to give, and furthermore the use of a foam tends to soft and non-rigid plastic which is usually used, allows to have a greater impact absorption .Into In conclusion it can be said that for less than 30 euros you have a valid security such as security, not much as comfort, wear it for a whole day is difficult, but for a race or training session in the park between the poles can , fine. Difficult, however, have more at a price so low.
