Ok folks, im looking for a back protector for snowboarding. and have come accross the arma sport stuff. now i used to have a forcefield B2 back protector but in medium i think it was a little too large for me and used to ride up. i foolishly sold it to a guy at work and got a forcefield insert for the jacket. leaving me without something for snowboarding.


sooo ive come across these
http://www.bikingdirect.com/motrax/heated-motorcycle-clothing/motrax-armour-arma-sport-back-protector-23784-p.html

they appear to be the same as a forcefield one (even have the same logo on the foam bit) has anyone got any experience of these? or know anything about them? im thinking for over half the price i could get me and the missus one and use it for the bike as well? ion the correct size this time

That does look very very similar to the Forcefield ones... the L2 wasn't much more than that I don't think, £80ish?

seems like rebadged forcefield stuff from the stated (t-pro over there?) but it could only be level 1. ok for boarding but not for the bike. but still better than the foam stuff i guess.

aparantly it is. going to grab it and see what its like. if its any good ill grab another one. i have a feeling it will only be level 1 though which would still be better than a standard one.
