An afternoon ski day that is not unusual: The slope, which was nicely ridged and grippy in the morning, now resembles a mogul run, with ice patches lurking beneath, and the sun is low in the sky. Unfortunately, falls are often part of the experience here. Therefore, it is essential to protect what needs to be protected. While a helmet is now mandatory, only a few skiers wear a protector. However, it replaces a layer of clothing, is breathable and comfortable to wear, and protects the spine from more serious injuries. With Proshield, Alpina raises the standard for entry-level protectors to a new level. The aim is for protectors to become standard equipment while skiing.
