A not uncommon ski day in the afternoon: the slope, still nicely grooved and grippy in the morning, resembles a mogul slope, ice slabs lurk underneath, the sun is low. Unfortunately, falls are often a fact of life here. That's why it's important to protect what needs to be protected. While a helmet is now obligatory, only a few skiers wear a protector. Yet it replaces a layer of clothing, is breathable, comfortable to wear: and protects the spine from worse injuries. With Proshield, Alpina raises the standard for entry-level protectors to a new level. So that protectors also become standard when skiing.
