Helmet and backprotector, the backprotector is a HELL lot more comfortable to wear than it looks, ive done some hard crashes on rails and icy snow, and its saved me alot, makes me try more and push myself abit more

I wear impact shorts. Doesn't prevent injuries from big and violent falls but like on rail or just when you somehow fall on your ass, it makes the fall feel better ! and yuou dunnot feel it under your pants!

I cut the thigh pads out of my football girdle for skiing so i have my hips and tailbone protected. Cover your tailbone, Ive cracked it twice and its the worst recovery considering you cant do anything with it you just lay on your stomach. Thigh pads get in the way for me though, I wouldnt say there necessary

There is plenty. Google skiers thumb guard and there are a tonne of supports and braces to stop it and help if you have it.

Can you flip the back protector around and have it protect the ribs for rails? I have had a few rib injuries lately
