How do I wear a ski back protector?
You wear a ski back protector always over your first layer of clothing and under your ski jacket and ski pants. We recommend wearing a thermal top as your first layer so you stay warm and can wick away sweat. Then you put on the back protector over the first layer, now you're better protected! Depending on the temperature and personal preference, you can then wear a second layer of clothing like a pully or mid-layer jacket to develop extra warmth. As the last layer, you put on the ski jacket, which keeps you dry on the slopes!
