Helmet Helmets are mandatory for kids in Austria. Helmets are also recommended for all adults! Wearing a helmet in freestyle is of particular importance.
Wrist guards are particularly in beginner courses of advantage, but from our point of view they are not absolutely nessecary.
Protector Shorts and Kneeguards are often used in harsh snow conditions
Backprotectors are used more and more often in advanced and sporty riding. They are especially used in freestyle (fun park) but also in freeriding.
For the other protectors applies: A well-constructed snowboard lesson is more important than any protective equipment!
