Product Information
Full details
The Salomon Flexcell Pro is an ideal back protection solution for skiers and snowboarders who prioritize safety without sacrificing mobility. Its primary benefit is the Flexcell 4D technology, which offers superior impact absorption while conforming naturally to your movements. While it provides excellent protection, users should note that it is designed as a base layer vest and requires proper sizing to ensure the back panel remains securely positioned during active riding.

FAQs
Can I wear this under a thin base layer?
It is designed to be worn as a base layer itself, but you can wear thin, moisture-wicking material underneath if desired.
Is the back pad machine washable?
No, the removable back pad should be wiped down with a damp cloth; only the textile vest should be machine washed.
Does this protector meet safety standards?
The Flexcell Pro is built to offer advanced impact protection, specifically engineered to meet the demands of mountain sports safety.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure your torso length from the base of your neck to your waist to ensure the back panel provides full coverage for your spine.
Will this protect against sharp objects?
It is designed for impact absorption, not for puncture resistance against sharp objects.
Troubleshooting
The vest shifts or rides up during activity
Adjust the Quick link tightening system to ensure the waist is properly secured, or check if a different size is required for your torso length.
The protector feels stiff in cold temperatures
The Flexcell 4D material is designed to remain flexible; if it feels stiff, allow the vest to reach room temperature before putting it on.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your vest, pull on the garment and engage the full-length zipper before adjusting the Quick link system to ensure a snug, non-restrictive fit against your torso. It is compatible with most ski jackets and base layers, provided they are not excessively tight. For care, always remove the back pad before machine washing the textile vest. The vest can be washed on a gentle cycle; ensure both the vest and the pad are completely dry before reassembling.
