larger lady advice needed

not that I have anything against men or stick insect ladies but im looking at getting a back protector when i visit NEC in November.

I tried on a knox a few years ago and I looked like dolly parton and could not zip up my jacket. obviously my boobs take refuge in my arm pits when wearing leather jacket.

any recommendations?

Well some one will say it, might as well be me

I am guessing the back protectors bulk meant that you need another size up in jacket.

So my advice - get a new back protector AND leathers.

I think the Forcefield protector may be a bit thinner than the knox one.

it wasnt the bulk that was t he problem as I have a back protector in the jacket that I could remove. it was the straps they sort of pushed my boobs together. gave me a cleavage up to my chin(s)

Get a nice leather corset to go under your leathers, chuck on the back protector (and jacket, strategically unzipped) and go conquer the world then.

You will never have to worry about another speeding ticket or rectification notice with that outfit - unless its a female cop that is :P

You could just upgrade the armour inte jacket and but the Forcefield kidney belt to extend protection down and round

EDIT - They call it their Lumbar Protector - http://www.tprobodyarmour.co.uk/product_selector.asp

Dainese has a back protector without shoulder straps. just the belt to keep it in place.

Mmmmmmm, now there's a 'back protector' I'd be willing to put on a trial run.

Oh perlease!

Be wary of some of the top of that range back protectors (e.g. Knox Contour) - as they do not fit properly on women. The reason is some of them (including the contour) extend the protection round the hips....and this means that they don't sit in the correct place on many women.

Also, make sure you get measured properly for a BP, try one on, and leave it on (under your coat) for at least 10 mins. They tend to end up sitting in the correct place on your back, and should be long enough so that it tucks into your trousers, but not so long that it sticks out the top of your jacket (any back protector that sticks up above you collar is very dangerous, as in an accident you could break your neck on it).

When trying to work out what length of BP you need ignore hieght charts as they may be scaled to fit men, and guys have longer torsos for their height than women do.

Poor fellow's been mauled half to death in someones imagination

Those strapless ones do work if your jacket is not too loose.
