Back Protectors

If you wear a back protector do you use it as a replacement for the foam protector in the leather jacket or wear it as well as the jacket armour?

I say this because my jacket has a foam back protector built in and it is very uncomfortable to wear both at the same time.
The back protector looks like it would offer better protection than just the foam from the jacket.
What do other riders do?

I removed the foam and just use the protector under the jacket, I'm pretty sure this is the intended purpose.

:arrowu: +1 the back section (liner) should have a zip for just that purpose, rip out the unwanted piece of crap foam, do not chuck it ...... keep it in a bag in storage in case you ever sell the jacket.

I wear both. back protectors are generally not the most comfortable things but you get used to them soon enough and you don teven notice.
