If you are a snowboarder, the most important piece of protective equipment is undoubtedly the back protector. Depending on their construction, back protectors can be divided into two basic types: soft-shell and hard-shell.
To provide adequate protection, the back protector must extend from the shoulder level to about 5 cm above your tailbone. Consult the chart below to find your size.

Back protector types
Soft-shell back protectors are made of flexible and light material that adapts to your body shape, so it does not restrict your movement. In case of fall, however, the material hardens, absorbing and redistributing the force of the impact over a larger area. Soft-shell back protectors are very light and comfortable.
Hard-shell back protectors have an inner and outer layer. The outer layer is a rigid plastic (polypropylene) shell divided into (loosely connected) sections to avoid restricting your movement. Hard-shell back protectors provide a greater sense of safety, but this feeling is purely subjective. Their protective characteristics are actually comparable to those of soft-shell back protectors.
