An afternoon ski day that is not unusual: The slope, which was beautifully ridged and grippy in the morning, now resembles a mogul field, with ice patches lurking beneath and the sun hanging low. Unfortunately, falls are often part of the experience here. Therefore, it is important to protect what needs to be protected. While a helmet has become mandatory, only a few skiers wear a protector. However, it replaces a layer of clothing, is breathable, comfortable to wear, and protects the spine from more serious injuries. With Proshield, Alpina raises the standard for entry-level protectors to a new level. The aim is for protectors to become standard equipment when skiing.
