Salomon Flexcell Back Support

The Flexcell Back Support is a slim, lightweight spine protector for skiers and snowboarders who want safety without bulk. The removable Flexcell 4D foam pad is CE certified to EN 1621-2 Level 1 and moves with you on every turn. Built from 100% recycled mesh with perforated padding, it keeps you dry and comfortable during long sessions on the mountain.

Why we rate it

The Flexcell 4D technology adapts to your movements while staying in place, so you get protection without feeling restricted. The mesh is genuinely breathable, not just a marketing term — you won't overheat on steep runs or long days. The removable pad washes separately, so you can keep it fresh between washes.

The adjustable chest strap and waist strap with Velcro let you dial in the fit precisely. It sits close to your body without feeling tight, and the minimalist design means you can wear it under or over your jacket.

Who it's for

Anyone who skis or snowboards and wants lightweight spine protection. Works equally well for piste days, off-piste ventures, or park sessions. Unisex sizing from XS to XL means it fits most body shapes.
