accordingly by the notified body TÜV SÜD in the test method to
the requirements for skiing and snowboarding.

in comparison with Level 1 protectors. Level 2 protectors offer

dard. The wearer is responsible for selecting the appropriate lev-
el of protection according to his or her needs, experience, skill
and the potential risk of accident.
