Salomon Flexcell 2026/27

The Salomon Flexcell is a CE EN 1621-2 Level 1 approved back protector built around Flexcell 4D foam technology. It combines impact absorption with high breathability through a perforated pad structure and 100% recycled polyester mesh, keeping you protected without overheating during active runs.

Why we rate it

Flexcell 4D foam has evolved to offer better protection while maintaining flexibility for your natural movement. The Thermo Control System manages perspiration and airflow, so it doesn't feel clammy under your jacket. The removable back pad is machine-washable at 30°C, making maintenance straightforward. It's built for dynamic skiers and snowboarders who move hard and need reliable spine protection without feeling restricted.

Who it's for

Skiers and riders of all abilities who want impact protection as standard. The unisex fit and adjustable chest and waist straps work across a range of body shapes. It suits anyone skiing or riding off-piste or in terrain parks where falls are part of the game.
