Body Armour and impact protection is a fantastic idea to make skiing and snowboarding safer and more enjoyable yet still exciting. For beginners, body armour should cover the tail bone as falling on your bottom is a regular occurrence when learning. For intermediates wanting to progress to freestyle tricks, body armour is strongly recommended to lessen the risk of serious injury.
All 661 body armour is tough, comfortable and highly impact-absorbant and 661 is a well-known brand within the snowboarding and ski world.

Body Armour that provides good upper torso impact and spine protection, such as the 661 N8-1 Pressure Suit Body Armour.
Wrist guards for wrist support. When breaking a fall, the wrists are vulnerable so the 661 Wrist Wrap Long is a great buy.
Knees can take a real hammering on bumpy slopes, so to give your knee support we have the 661 Pro DJ Knee.
