Its slim profile fits easily underneath a ski jacket or race suit without restricting movement, and the removable elastic waistband can be added for a more secure, personalized fit. Available in regular and slim fits, the VPD Air is a breathable ski and snowboard back protector that makes it easy to add certified impact protection without weighing yourself down.
