Stubben Back Protector

Stubben Back Protector

By collaborating with the leading producer of back protectors for motorcycists, skiers and boarders, Stubben has enlarged its product range by a back protector.

It was our aim to develop an innovative back protector which, contrary to the presently available products on the equestrian market, offers high comfort as well as highly effective protection of the spine, which is exposed to the highest risk of injury.

The Stübben back protector is a sandwich construction consisting of thermo-elastic foams. Unlike a traditional hard case protector, with a Stubben back protector the full impact of a crash is dissipated evenly across the whole area and the risk of spinal injuries is thus reduced to a minimum.

The Stübben back protector is certified according to
motorcycle standards EN 1621-2 and has passed the so called Curbtest,
the hardest of all quality standards, and the device has already won
several comparative tests.

In recent tests a sensationally low
residual energy value was measured: with 5.13 KN (central) it is far
beneath the legally required level of 9 KN. The Stübben back protector
absorbs up to 95% of the impact energy and thus offers the best
protection values.

Maximum wearing comfort
The sandwich structure of the Stübben back protector functions in a similar way as a crumple zone in a car.

Due
to the influence of body heat the protector adjusts to the body
contours and thus offers a safe fit and maximum wearing comfort. Due to
its perfect fit and its low weight of 400- 1,000g it is comfortable and
allows greatest possible freedom of movement.

The back protector
covers the whole length of the spine and is available in many elastic
unisex sizes. Because of its lightweight construction and simple
vest-like cut it can be optimally combined with a riding jacket.
