Six Six One Back Guard

Low Profile fit

By Backcountry.com Sponsored Athlete Ranked #648 - Alpine Skiing September 27, 2009

So, I rock the Back guard when I'm skiing big lines and dropping big cliffs. There are a few features that make this piece of gear pretty good, but then there is a bit that it leaves to be desired.Pros: Light weight, Easy to attach to pack for touring, and quick to put on at the top, saved my back many times, it drops down low enough to protect even my tail bone.Cons: Uncomfortable velcro strap system (especially for girls), rides up a little, and would like a little bit more kidney protection.I own both an impact jacket and this back protector and I find myself using the back protector more because of it's low profile.
