Product Information "Flaxta Behold 2 Youth Back Protector Vest for Teens, Black"
The Flaxta Behold 2 Youth bridges the gap between children’s and adult protectors: a back protector vest for teens who have outgrown junior sizes but still find adult sizes too loose. Flat, flexible design, new high-absorption AVA back plate, breathable materials for intense riding, and a removable elastic waist strap. Certified to EN 1621-2 Level 1, available in two sizes: L (S-M) and XL (M-L), color: Black.
Flaxta Behold 2 Youth: Back protector vest with AVA protection system for skiing and snowboarding
The safest back protector is the one you actually wear. That’s exactly what Flaxta had in mind when designing the Behold: Instead of a hard shell, the back of the vest features the AVA plate—short for Absorb, Vent, and Adapt. It consists of vertically oriented, cylindrical absorption cells that progressively yield upon impact and disperse the energy, while remaining lightweight, flexible, and breathable. The vest adapts to the body’s shape while riding, bending over, and sitting in the lift, without causing any pressure points. The Behold 2.0 builds on this concept, featuring a new plate with higher absorption, lighter and more breathable materials, and a redesigned cut. The elastic waist strap is removable: if you want the vest to fit snugly against your body, leave it on; if you want more freedom of movement, take it off.

Intended Use
For skiing and snowboarding on the slopes, in the park, and off-piste—from ski lessons to freeride days. The vest is worn directly over a technical shirt and under a midlayer or jacket. You can find more models in the back protectors section.
Who is the Behold 2 Youth designed for?
For teens between about 150 and 165 cm tall, for whom the junior size is too small and the adult vest in size S is too large. Size L (S-M) for smaller teens, XL (M-L) for taller teens. The plate should extend from the nape of the neck to just above the tailbone.
What is the protector’s protection class?
The back plate is certified to EN 1621-2 Level 1, the standard for back protectors in motorcycling and winter sports.
Can I wear the vest under my ski jacket?
Yes, that’s what it’s designed for. The vest is flat and flexible and adds hardly any bulk under a jacket. It fits best when worn directly over a performance shirt.
How do I wash the vest?
Remove the back plate, wash the vest by hand or on a gentle cycle at 30 degrees, and air-dry. Wipe the plate with a damp cloth.
How long does a back protector last?
After a hard fall where the plate took the impact, the protector should be replaced, even if there is no visible damage. Without a fall, it will last for many seasons.
