Does anyone on here have one of these?

Just debating whether to buy the best possible for the odd trackdays i am going to do.

Not cheap, is it? But it looks quality and a good back protector is priceless.

It lets through the least energy of any back protector which is what attracts me together with a combination of hard and soft protection.

It looks pretty bulky. Do you have much room spare in your leathers?

When i looked at back protectors I chose a force field. Ticked the boxes for lots of reasons when i did a bit of research into them. its pretty comfy to wear as well. It molds to your back with heat.

I like mine however they don't breathe at all so you do sweat a lot. Especially with the chest protector on as well.

I use a Knox Aeigis, I picked one up really cheap at the NEC show a few years back coz it was last years model, when I asked the difference between new and old I was told by the knox guy was literally the colour they changed. I really like it, its comfy and I forgot I'm wearing it when its on, to be fair I havnt tested it yet and hope not to but I have full faith in it after seeing its the same one a lot of the BSB boys use.

I don't care for it's sticki-outed-ness. It'd be one of those that you would definitely want to take with you when you try on those fancy leathers you've been saving up for.

If you look on the website you'll see it's got a fairly flat profile.

Hmmm. I wonder which one it is that I'm thinking of then???

It does look wider than some. That is part of its appeal and also a reason to make sure it's comfortable before splashing the cash. Need to go and have a look over the weekend maybe.

Try one on under your leathers if it's not comfortable it will drive you mad
I use a dainese one but had a Knox years ago that was quite light and comfy
