AVA has been integrated into our back protectors for skiing and snowboarding, and has allowed us to create the most ventilated, flexible, and low-profile certified back protector on the market; Behold.

Behold is available for men, women, and kids, and perfect for skiers and snowboarders who find current back protectors too stiff, warm, and bulky.

Try it out for yourself and feel the difference.

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.

All of our back protectors are certified according to the European standard EN-1621-2, which assesses products designed to protect the back and spine.

This standard is also used for certifying back protectors used for motorcycling, which means that the required level of protection is high.

In addition to standard certification requirements, all protection aimed for winter sports also needs to pass the same requirements in -20 °C.

Flaxta is proudly supporting Henrik Harlaut. He is the most decorated skier in X Games history, and is also considered one of the most innovative and influential skiers of all time.
