Gravity Protection

Gravity Protection: online ski, snowboard and mountain bike gear

Gravity Protection is a British online store specialising in protective equipment and technical gear for skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking and travel. Its catalogue is organised into four main areas —ski, snowboard, bike and travel— and combines helmets, body armour, luggage, clothing and accessories from a range of established brands. The shop operates through its own website, with prices displayed in pounds sterling and the option to switch the display currency.

Protection as the common thread

Across the ski and snowboard sections, the store groups impact jackets and spine guards, impact shorts and leggings, knee and shin guards, and elbow and wrist guards. For mountain biking, the protection range follows a similar structure, alongside MTB helmets, MTB apparel, MTB gloves and bike packs with hydration. The bike line is presented with an explicit emphasis on protection, particularly helmets and body armour.

Ski equipment and race-specific lines

The ski catalogue covers all-mountain helmets, ski race helmets and children's helmets, plus goggles and glasses and all-mountain rucksacks. A dedicated ski race area brings together race helmets, race armour, race gloves, race bags and race tuning. The clothing offer is layered: outer-layer jackets and trousers, mid layers, base layers, gloves and mittens, hats and socks. Luggage and kit bags include ski travel bags, boot and race bags, ski bags and hydration packs. The section is completed with tuning equipment, avalanche safety items (transceivers, shovels, probes and snowpack assessment), emergency first aid and ski mountaineering gear.

Snowboard range

The snowboard section mirrors much of the ski structure: all-mountain and children's helmets, goggles and glasses, all-mountain packs, outer and mid layers, base layers, gloves and mittens, hats, socks, luggage and kit bags, snowboard travel bags, snowboard and boot bags, boot bags and hydration packs. It also lists tuning equipment, impact protection for the upper and lower body, knee and shin guards, elbow and wrist guards, avalanche safety equipment and emergency first aid.

Travel and outdoor clothing

A separate travel area groups large luggage, cabin luggage and travel rucksacks, together with waterproof and insulated jackets, trousers and shorts, mid layers, base layers, gloves and mittens, and travel accessories. The site frames this selection around walking or climbing in comfort, with outdoor clothing, rucksacks, hydration and safety equipment.
