Torso Padding

Torso Padding Buyer Guide

Torso padding helps protect key upper-body areas during falls or light impacts. The products on this page focus on back, spine, chest, and rib coverage for active sport use.

Padded Back Protection

The padded back protection pad suits buyers who want slim back coverage under clothing or sports gear. It is lightweight, flexible, and easy to place under a shirt or jacket.

This option suits snowboarding, skiing, skateboarding, cycling, and similar activities. However, it should sit flat against the back. If needed, tape or secure it inside suitable clothing so it stays centred.

Back and Chest Protection Vests

The back and chest protection vest gives more upper-body coverage than a single back pad. It covers the front and rear torso areas, so it suits faster or higher-impact activities.

This style uses a PE shell, polyester fabric, and EVA foam. It also has adjustable shoulder and waist straps. Therefore, buyers can fine-tune the fit over light layers or under outer clothing.

Choosing the Right Size

The vest comes in M, L, and XL. Use height, waist size, and back length before selecting a size. Do not rely on normal clothing size only.

• M: suits height 140–160cm, waist 85–105cm, and 49cm back length.
• L: suits height 160–180cm, waist 94–113cm, and 57cm back length.
• XL: suits height 180–200cm, waist 105–135cm, and 62cm back length.

Which Torso Padding Should You Use?

• For slim back coverage: use the padded back protection pad.
• For chest and back coverage: use the back and chest protection vest.
• For snow sports: check that the padding fits under your jacket without restricting movement.
• For mountain biking or motocross: choose the vest for more structured torso coverage.
• For skating or casual use: choose the option that feels secure while bending and turning.

Fit and Safety Tips

Torso padding should sit close to the body. However, it should not stop normal movement, breathing, or twisting. Bend, sit, and turn before use to check comfort.

Check straps, foam, shells, and seams before each session. Replace torso padding if the foam becomes flat, the shell cracks, or the straps no longer hold firmly.
