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.

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!
