Whether you regularly bomb the gnarliest lines on the mountain, or simply want to ski worry-free in the trees, the Head Thorac Unit has your back (literally). This anatomically fit, lightweight impact armor sits comfortably under your jacket and works with your movement so you hardly notice it’s there. When it comes to impact resistance, Head constructed the Thorac Unit with ten lightweight polyethylene shields designed to resist severe impacts in cold weather. Soft neck padding delivers significant protection without the discomfort of a hard shield rubbing against your upper spine. Size adjustments and excellent breathability round out this awesome spine-saver.

Bottom Line: The Head Thorac Unit might just save your spine.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Protect What matters

Why not protect your special parts. Your spine is sensitive and fragile, this unit offers just enough protection to those unexpected falls, obstacles, or bumps. This is a comfortable piece, and packs up small.

Hey skybabe, the large seems to be an equal to a lrg mens shirt or jacket. From what the Head site can tell us. All I can say is that when I see one of these gnarly back protectors' You better be gettin heli dropped or something along those lines. The only time I think I have ever seen anyone where one of these is when I was track riding my 1125R Buell at Pocono Raceway. I think you should have more confidence in kickin' it down hill, and not so much worrying about what might happen. But you can never be to careful. Wax side always down except for inverts!!!
