Any of you guys/girls wear them? My latest set of leathers (Arlen Ness) dont have any armour in the back and I thought buying a back protector rather than the softer built in armour would be better.
Any thoughts~?

I wear the T-Pro forcefield. It was recommended by Crowtree who advised me against the hard armour type. The material in this thing is amazing, it just seems to absorb any force thrown at it.

I just Googled and found this link

Sounds like a very safe bit of kit and it is extremely comfortable to wear

I've got a Knox Ricochet (www.speedycom.co.uk/shop/product.php?productid=16353&cat=300&page=1). It isn't the most comfortable thing in the world, but I always wear it when I'm going off for a determined ride.

I use the "Knox Stowaway RSK Back Protector", its comfortable, light and hopefully I never need to use it....

Yip got same, I rate it highly, ok bit warm on hot days & leathers bit tighter with it on , but worth the minimal grief I feel.

Any of the Knox kit, nothing else comes close.
