Poster: A snowHead
|
Morning,
What back protector would you recommend for a child sized 120-125cm, comfort is a must, and need to be purchased online.
Thanks!

My son has used the POC POCito VPD for the past couple of seasons and it seems like a quality product

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Ours have had Dainese and Cairn . . . never had a problem. They were originally plastic ones, like a spine, but the newer ones are more spongy and more comfortable. Don't think you need to worry about comfort as they soon get forgotten about

We picked up POCito ones in an amazon sale a while back. If you do got for a back protector, I'd suggest a vest type one as they are more comfortable for the sprogs to wear and more likely to stay in a useful position throughout the day.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I'd look for ones with D30 foam, which is akin to silly putty - soft when moved slowly, rigid when impacted hard.
My kids have Cairn ones in vest style with D30 foam, they were about E70 each I think. Size-wise you'd be looking for the smallest or next one up (online I'd buy both and check for size).

It's flexible and moulds to his shape when it's warmed up. He was 130cm tall when we got it. Now he's 140cm. Size large is for 125-150cm. He's tall and slim, and it fits him well. They couldn't be too podgy though with the way it fits.

Rookie error... I (finally) washed kiddo's back protector vest and can't remember which way the spongy bit goes in. It's a poc as-1. Is it flat side in, or rounded side in?

Flat side against the back with the thin foam in between.

Both of our kids have EVOC protector ones - they seem pretty decent, also have collar bone protection, and are the vest style ones so fit really well.
