would you buy this?

I am seriously considering this item (after reading an accident thread , i belive it was BigApe) , at first i was going to go with a Knox Stowaway back protector but this just looks more practical and a little more protection too , have a look see and click on Video

So would you buy this then?

It looks quite good to me, but I'm new to all this motorcycling malarkey so I suppose I'm not that much help!

I would. (just as soon as I get another bike ) I was looking at the Spidi version in the grandprixlegends catalogue the other day.

But then again, I was also tempted by the air bag jacket! I must be getting old. The ground definately gets harder the older you get

These:

The only reason I didn't have a back protector before was because I never seemed to have the cash.

I'd want to try in on to make sure the added hieght on the shoulders doesn't make looking behind you difficult - (but then my stuff already has shoulder armour in it)

Thanks for the tip , i really like it (except for the price $270 USD) and looks to offer lots more protection ......I love it when you can see an actual video of the item rather than just some pictures

madness....I'm a noob too and trying to find what would be best , nothing like having all of your gear payed for before venturing into the new sport , besides after reading BigApes thread i suddenly realised that I'm extremely allergic to pain


svpilot.....Christmas Bonuses are just around the corner (cash, cash, cash= gear ,gear ,gear).
Don't know about the air bag thing, it doesn't look to be very practical , here is a vid i searched and found it looks as though you have to know how to fall and roll more than anything else and it looks as though all of the impact areas aren't near it.
