Anna Veith - 5 Reasons for Protector SLR
Hi, I'm Anna Veith. Today, I'm excited to present the new Protector SLR binding from Head. Here are five reasons why the Protector binding is for you:
1. Recommended by the knee: The new Protector SLR binding can reduce ACL strain by more than 50% in the event of a fall, decreasing the risk of knee injuries.
2. Safer on the slopes: Studies show that female skiers are three times more likely to suffer from cruciate ligament injury than men. Protector SLR helps reduce the chance of these injuries.
3. Tailored to women's needs: The original Protector PR has been adapted to create the female-focused SLR, making it ideal for younger female and lightweight skiers.
4. Not just a safety binding: The new Protector SLR offers outstanding performance on snow along with its industry-leading safety features.
5. A perfect match for Head: The new Joy skis and Protector SLR binding are the perfect match, and many more Head skis are also Protector-ready.
This is the Protector SLR binding, recommended by me and my niece. Discover the new collection at head.com.
