Forcefield are the official body armour suppliers to the Salomon UK freestyle ski team.
Also signed up to this great British product are Great Britian Snowboard and Ski Teams both use Forcefield Armour too.
Yes - We supply the shorts - But wouldn't review if DIDN'T believe it it.
I have 5 pairs of various brands - all @ the time thought would be the Muts -But these are the Real Deal.

| Strengths |
The Padding is removble and then the short can be washed separate. There are two types of padded Sports rated @ 50 Joule impact & Pro rated @ 100 Joule impact. I use the 50's for normal everyday confidence on slopes - Then switch / mix up the 50 & 100 for freestyle practice.
The impacts felt are dissipated over the whole insert and not consolidated in one position - therefore reducing the actual force felt - some hard armour shorts protect the initial graize but you still feel the transfered force.
Light weight - No bumps and lumps visable thro your board pants. |

| Weaknesses |
| Cost has been mentioned as a weakness - but personally - I would pay the price not to have another broken coccyx ! |
