Default Leathers and back protector?

I'm going to buy a 1 piece soon and want a back protector, now i know the leathers need to be skin tight so should I buy the back protector forst or do the leathers stretch around them???

Default Re: Leathers and back protector?

When I bought my back protector I took my Jacket with me and tried it on together in the shop.

Personally I'd buy the back protector first or at the same time as you buy your leathers that way you can try it all on together and be sure of the fit / comfort of it all.

IMHO

I just tried on a back protector that they had in store when i tried my one piece on (as I'd left mine at home ), that seemed to work fine.

I was thinking either IXON, Richa or Wolf.

Won't go wrong with a Knox or forcefield.
But if you look at the websites they'll tell you what companies armour they use. For example Scott Leathers use Knox and put in the product specs
