In the back protector category, the Swiss brand focuses on the essential balance between lightness, breathability and shock absorption.

Thanks to technical materials and ergonomic designs, they remain discreet while providing a high level of safety, even on the most demanding outings.

Why choose a Scott back protector vest?

D3O technology: flexible to wear, rigid on impact

At the core of every Scott back protector is D3O Scott: an intelligent material that stays flexible during activity and stiffens on impact to better absorb shocks. This approach keeps a natural feel under a jacket while aiming for reliable protection. The entire range is EN1621-2 certified, with a removable back plate for easy care.

Vest format: comfort and support all day long

Our selection features a consistent design: back protector vest without straps, full-length zip closure and ergonomic adjustable belt. The breathable mesh made from recycled materials optimises ventilation and ensures a stable fit, even during high-intensity use.

How to choose your Scott back protector?

Size and fit: belt, zip and fit markers

A secure feeling comes from a well-fitted vest. The front zip helps with easy on and off, while the adjustable belt keeps the protector close to your back. The range is built around the Airflow family, with Scott Airflow vest in Airflow W's (women), Airflow Free M's (men) and Airflow Junior Scott (children), completed by the unisex Scott Vanguard Evo.

Care: remove the D3O plate before washing

To maintain the breathability of the fabric and the fit of the vest, the D3O plate should be removed before washing. This removable design, common to all models, makes regular care easy after every outing.
