Recommend me a back protector
 

Did a search, but couldn't find what I'm after.

I'm looking to get a back protector and would like advice/opinions/reviews on the following (or similar):-

Knox Aegis
Dainese Wave
Dainese Shield
Forcefield L2

They're all similar in price £80-£100 so really want some thoughts on quality/performance etc.

Cheers

Forcefield L2

End Of.

Cheers for that, have you tried any others and what else other than comfort swayed it for you?

Thanks for the info :rolleyes:

i've tried dainese and alpinestar's both felt comfy but in the end forcefield won out due to the protection and review's i read at the time.

Cheers, I saw that Ride mag did a review, although haven't seen reviews of the others.

Another vote for the Forcefield L2.

Bought mine from here: http://www.sounddistribution.co.uk/p...recnumber=1549

Bought my forcefield off one of the boys on here for a bargain price and its a great bit of kit. Thankfully i've not tested it for real and i dont intend too tbh ;)

The strap around the belly bit can get a bit hot and sweaty on very hot days but conversely will act like a mini kidney belt in winter i guess. The protector itself is nice and long and hugs the body really nicely imo. On a coldish ride home from Bands Hatch it kept me kinda warm under the leathers too, so its a win all round for me.

Yep Forcefield L2, most definitely. I've had mine since getting my SV and all seems well, even when I hit the deck with it on.

+more for the forcefield.

Feels a bit stiff to begin with, but moulds itself to your body shape with body heat.
