Back protectors

[George29]

Can anyone recommend me a back protector?

Never had one before, but just joined NoLimits racing for next year and it's one of the requirements.

Not too fussed about cost, I just want one that's not bulky and doesn't restrict movement in any way.

Bloody hell, haven't you been racing for the last year?

I have. It's not a requirement to have one though. Never really considered one before.

Will have a look at the Forcefield one this weekend.

They're designed to resist impact, not twisting or overextension!

I thought the whole point of them was to prevent overextension? Don't they just bend one way but not the other?

Will take my leathers to my local shop then at weekend and try the Knox and the Forcefield. Having a quick google the Knox looks good but the reviews on the Forcefield sway me a bit. I'll put it down to whichever fits the best

Just to update this thread, I bought the Knox Aegis one. I found it to be comfier when on than the Forcefield.

Also bought the Knox Aegis at Motorcycle live - it was on the sale rack for £69.

Feel like a ninja turtle when I wear it

I paid £99 for it! Wish I'd gone to Motorcycle live now

Can Anyone with a Knox Aegis give me help size wise? Im 6'3" so thinking the 9 plate, but the size guide isn't helping much as I measured nape to waist at 60cm. I know I should try on first, but can return if it doesn't fit.

I'm the same height and had to get the 9 plate.
