A rigorous standard for protections
Regulation (EU) 2016/425 applies to personal protection. This back protector is notable in particular for its tests on shock absorption capacity with impact tests according to standard EN1621-2 level 1.
Choosing the right size is essential for good protection.
To choose the correct protective vest size, here is a size table that uses children's height (the chest measurement is given as a reference):
Size 6 years = 115-124cm (Chest 58-61cm)
Size 8 years = 124-133cm (Chest 61-64.5cm)
Size 10 years = 133 to 142cm (Chest 64.5-68.5cm)
Size 12 years = 142-151cm (Chest 68.5-75.5cm)
Size 14 years = 152 to 162 cm (Chest 75.5-85.5cm)
Back protection designed as part of an overall outfit.
The back protector is designed to go with the protective shorts that will be available shortly, as well as the rest of the outfit. It has practical ties to attach the back protection to the belt loops of the shorts or trousers so that it does not ride up as the child moves.
Precautions for use
Remember not to leave your back protector in the car at night or in a cold environment before wearing it. Indeed, the protective component reacts to cold and hardens if left in such conditions for a prolonged period. Body heat or a heated room is enough to make it flexible again.

It's simple, the ZIPROTEC is

Advantages of the ZIPROTEC feature
_ freedom:You attach the back protector to your child's jacket in the evening or at the beginning of the ski trip, and in the morning, when you leave (it’s always a rush), if your child has their jacket on, then they have their back protector on, they are protected
_ comfort:you forget you’re wearing the back protector, it follows the body's movements and most importantly it doesn’t ride up
_ practical:during lunch break, if they take off their jacket, they remove the back protector, all at once
