A helmet's got your head. We've got your back.
Wearing a helmet is a no-brainer. But a back protector? Never heard of it.
You might think that only extreme skiers and riders would need back protection. But the truth is, the majority of injuries happen on blue runs and spine injuries suck.
That's why we're developing the AgroPelt: a protective base layer that helps keep your back safe. And when safety looks and feels this good, you'd be crazy to go without.
Features CE-1 impact protection from our partner RE ZRO®
CE-1 Impact Protection
Our base layers are designed with a pocket in back to hold a lightweight, flexible, breathable, low-profile, and fully biodegradable CE-1 level back protector from our partner RE ZRO®.
Performance Fabric
Made with super soft, moisture-wicking, four-way stretch fabric to keep you warm and comfortable from first chair to last. Plus, the protective insert is removable so it's easy to wash.
Made to Move
You don't ski or snowboard stationary, so we've designed our protective base layers to move with you. No straps. No bulk. All style.
Rad Designs
Safety doesn't have to look dorky. We're working with some of our favorite artists to create custom designs that will keep you looking good on the mountain and at après.
Fits with your Kit
The last thing you need when you're getting ready for the mountain is another piece of gear. You wear a base layer already, so the AgroPelt won't feel like an extra thing to put on (or forget).
Motocross Inspired
Motocross riders and mountain bikers have worn back protection for years. We use the same type of impact protection to keep you safe on the mountain.

Inspired By Our Own Near Misses.
Hi, we're Katie and Ken, the founders of AgroPelt. We got the idea last season after Ken went off into the trees, landed on a stick, and almost punctured a lung. Katie also got hit by 4 different snowboarders that same season. Ouch.
Ken grew up mountain biking and also served in the Marine Corps, so he's no stranger to wearing body armor. When he started searching for snowsport options, we were shocked to discover that protective base layers for skiing and snowboarding don't exist (unless you want to look like you're wearing medieval armor). So we decided to create our own comfortable, stylish, armored base layer that skiers and snowboarders might actually wear.
