I saw one of these in the buyers guide and my dad really wants me to get one so I was wondering if any one has one or has used one of thier back protector pad things. If so what do you think? it looks like it might restrict movement alot but I don't know. so yeah what do you think is it worth it to buy one of these?

how aggresive are you skiing wise? are you doing inverts, rodeos, misties... kangs?

if you are, probably get one just in case, but if not then no need

They don't do much in the way of bracing. It's more for if you land on a rock or something you don't crack your vertebrae or something like that.

i had somethin similar last year for the first part of the season, it dosent really limit motion, just makes it harder to move, like u can move as far as u want but it just takes more work, pretty bulky

yea man i just bought one of these and their suuuper compfy,
i thought that the bottom stuck out to far so we thought it would bend but we broke the foam inside, dont think it's gonna do any damage cause it's still on there but yea, sick product and hopefully it works well
