Back Armour

[SoundGuy]

Im thinking of purchasing a back protector soon.

I'll be looking at one thats pretty slim and thin to fit under my leathers.

The alpinestar or knox range look like the ticket.

From experience, which ones do you recommend.

The best way is to go to the shops and try them all, but i just wanted to get some opinions.

Cheers

I've had my Dainese for years, so many in fact that the kidney belt thing no longer does up quite like it uesed to

Great quality but relatively expensive

I had an RJays one, which was pretty slim, but no where near as good as my Dianese one.

It might be time to get a new jacket then ... the Dianese BP is the shit

I really like my Knox back protector.

Just buy the one that fits you the best, out of the better quality ones. The better it fits you, the better it will work and the more likely you'll use it every time you ride.
And don't even think about trying any on without your jacket with you! (why, yes, I *am* speaking from experience! )

I might have to settle for a jacket insert, but i'll try a few different ones first.

got spat off my zx9r near tenterfield last year landed on my side skidded a bit.
got internal bruising on my right hand side from my armpit down to my waist.
hurt my neck with the impact of hitting the ground.
the physio wanted to kiss the back protector i was wearing. invaluable she said
saved my back and its the reason i have normal use of my spine.
it was a full length ufo number, cost around $150 a few years back.

Well, i just came back from the shop and i ended up getting the Dainese Wave 2.

Fitted me the best and its thin enough to fit under my jacket.

$240!!!!!

Money well spent mate. Hope it's worn to death & never gets tested.
