Behold is the most ventilated, flexible, and low-profile back protector on the market.

We are proud to introduce the Flaxta x Wings for Life Edition.

Wings for Life aims to help injured people getting back their independence and ability to move. Flaxta enables them to protect it in the first place. Freedom is privilege. Stay protected.

For every special edition WFL back protector sold, Flaxta donates 20 Euro to Wings for Life.

The Behold Back Protector vest incorporates Flaxta’s AVA protection system, short for Absorb, Vent, and Adapt, which brings absorption, ventilation, and adaption to an unprecedented new level.

The vest has been constructed for flexibility and breathability and features an optional elastic waistband.

Our goal is to get more people to consider wearing back protection. Our back protectors target all skiers and snowboarders who find current back protectors too stiff, warm, and bulky. Getting these riders to consider wearing back protection has been our main focus and we are excited to contribute and make skiing and snowboarding safer.

The secret behind our back protector

The AVA Back Plate

The unqiue compound integrated into our Behold back protector is called AVA. AVA (short for Absorb, Vent and Adapt) has been developed by Flaxta in collaboration with leading polymer experts.

It's based on a viscoelastic polymer that reduces impact force by viscous and elastic deformation. It deforms and stiffens, meaning that the impact energy is both spread out and absorbed. 

By balancing its properties carefully, we've been able to create a back protector with an unprecedented combination of protection, comfort, flexility, and ventilation.

Our popular Behold back protector by Flaxta has been featured by The Verge and included in their "The best snowboarding and skiing gadgets.

"Because it’s so thin and it breathes so well (due to all the holes in it), my back didn’t get sweaty at all and I completely forgot that I had it on."

The story behind

Creating Behold

With the Behold back protector, we want to make back protection accessible to all skiers and snowboarders, especially those who find current options too stiff, warm and bulky.

The idea behind Behold is to eliminate the decision of whether to wear a back protector or not, by making it feel like a comfortable and seamless addition to your gear. More of a mid-layer, rather than a traditional back protector.

With its low-profile design and our unique AVA back plate, you'll barely notice you're even wearing a back protector.

To wear or not to wear back protection?
– That is not a question.

For skiers and snowboarders, prioritizing safety on the slopes should be non-negotiable. Wearing a back protector like our Behold Back Protector Vest is a proactive step towards protecting yourself on the mountain.

In recent years, the snow sports community has increasingly recognized the significance of back protection. Many experts now advocate for the mandatory use of back protectors, just as helmets have become standard gear.

At Flaxta, we understand that safety shouldn't come at the cost of comfort. That's why our Behold Back Protector Vest strikes the perfect balance between dependable protection and a high level of comfort.

Gone are the days of sacrificing comfort for protection; with our Behold Back Protector, you no longer have to choose between the two. Our innovative design ensures you can ski or snowboard with peace of mind, knowing that you're protected while experiencing unparalleled comfort and freedom of movement.

We've got your back!
