| “I am very impressed with the Forcefield Kit, it is fantastic. It feels very comfortable and breathable and I feel safer wearing it. I have been wearing the shorts and back protector all the time. Other racers have been trying them out and have been very impressed” |

“I particularly love the padded shorts. They are so comfortable, and the low profile is really perfect for wearing under my speed ski suit. The other racers were surprised when I told them I was wearing protection, because it really wasn’t noticeable. I love them so much, I’m even wearing them when I am free skiing and not racing. I have had a great start to the speed ski season. In Austria, I came in first place, and in Canada I won all 3 races!!!!
Actually winning all the races in Canada was a double feat for me. It was there that I broke my coccyx and sacrum bones last year. I had a little extra confidence going into this race, knowing that I had better protection on” |
“I have been using Forcefield Shorts for the past two years and have found them extremely beneficial. As a competitive snowboarder I am constantly practicing on pretty big jumps and learning new tricks can be painful. There has been many a time I have fallen, mostly on my butt and my shorts have definitely made the impact of the fall a lot less painful. Safety is important but I am also a girl and don’t want to look any larger than I am, which is something that puts women off wanting to wear pads. These shorts you hardly notice underneath your trousers and are by far the most flattering compared to other designs I have seen and tried. I have worn them in the winter season and glacier riding in the summer and have found them breathable and easy to move in. I genuinely never snowboard without them”

“In my opinion, Forcefield Body Armours are the best around. Their technologies allow for comfort and style as well as excellent protection. I use the lower Lumbar Protector every time I step onto a mountain, and within 5 minutes of wearing it, it moulds to my back and feels like I am not wearing it. This back protector has saved me many times from serious injury, which I am grateful for” |

| “I have used many products that are meant to "protect" you from falls on the slopes but none of which have really made a difference, I started using a forcefield back protector earlier this year and its made all the difference to my riding in many ways. I have full confidence in the gear and having put it to the test on a few occasions in which it didnt let me down.” |
