Lumbar Support

Marco Bardi Lower Back Protection in High-Strength Nylon

The Marco Bardi lower back protection is a device designed to protect the lumbar area during freediving and spearfishing. Made from high-strength Nylon, this shaped rigid plate inserts easily into the weight belt, distributing the load over a wider area and reducing the risk of lower back inflammation.

Technical and Functional Features

• Material: high-strength Nylon for durability and toughness
• Shaped design: fits the natural curve of the lower back perfectly to help limit and correct excessive arching of the back
• Quick slots: allow easy insertion into the belt without removing the weights
• Non-slip: internal bends prevent the protection from shifting during the dive

Benefits During Use in the Water

The protection helps maintain a more horizontal position in the water, improving hydrodynamics and promoting optimal trim during spearfishing or freediving sessions. Load distribution reduces strain on the back, helping limit inflammation and lower back pain caused by the concentrated weight of the ballast on the belt.

Application

1. Insert the rigid plate into the slots of the weight belt
2. Position it over the lower back area
3. Check that the protection is stable and secured by the non-slip bends
