Back protector

How u all going Ime in the market for a new back protector.I want 1 that isn't to bulky with good protection and comfortable as I do a fair few klms.I will use it on road and track any opinions would be appreciated cheers

I like Dainese. Not cheap but like any gear you get what you pay for. My last one lasted >10 years and it's still going. There are plenty of other options though

Dainese and alpinestar seem to be the slimmest when I searched for my new one

I'm with Glen on this one. I got a Dainese Air Wave Grade 2 certified back protector. It sits pretty comfortably under my Alpinestars gear and isn't too restrictive.

There are two grades when it comes to Back Protectors. Grade 1 and 2. All protectors are marked with a tiny 1 or 2 written on the label. Grade 2s are the highest protection you can buy. Well worth it considering it protects the spinal cord

Hi.
I use a soul race vest, with chest protector as well. im lead to beleave that they make dainese protector's for them.
Very slim, even with chest protector, and very comfortable.
And there made in italy.

I got the A* one.
Make sure you get the right size

after owning Dainese & A'star i found the $120 Rjays to be the slimmest and a comfy fit....

throw your leathers on and ride to the shop and try as many as possible

Only 1 shop in albury

I have had the Rjays one for a few years now and find it fine wheather its under a 2 peice or a 1 peice suit.From memmory it was $99.00.
Mind you i dont really like plugging Rjays stuff as Rob Casson is a dick

Only 1 shop in albury

Mmm that make's it hard, as its one of those things u need to try on under ur jacket/ leather's to get the feel.
It depends on how quick u want one, because i gather with one shop, they prob dont have a big range, and prob charge more as well.
Do u get to melbourne? or is it worth the trip? as u will get a large range of choices here and will be a lot cheaper. allso places like AMX are open all weekend, even sunday's all day.

I got mine from Amx in boronia and yep you really need to try one before you buy it

That's what I will have to do just getn a few ideas of u blokes does anyone use Knox bp?thanks for the info

MUST try the protector on under your existing riding gear, AND make sure it's comfortable and doesn't restrict you in any way. I had the $120 Rjays one on when I had my accident and the Emergency staff just couldn't believe that I hadn't sustained any sort of spinal injuries.

what ive found with AMX is that if u find a site that has the same product, they will match it for price, even ebay sites, they will check the buy now price, and match it, and they are stocking better gear now.
They do have the dainese wave protector's
So its good to see some shop's fighting back against the O/S sites.

I'm another with the Dainese Airwave and it handled my recent backslam very well, but as others have said, the most important thing to consider is how it fits you. My wife still prefers to use her twenty year old back protector rather than her new one because it fits and feels better.
