Help. How big...(Back protector)

Back protector, seen a few and knox seem to have decent reviews. some decent "buy it nows" appear on ebay, question is im 6ft 3, do i need large or extra large?

or do i go by cm's..?

do i need to measure my back to be certain!?!

I'm a shortie, only 5'7 and I got a 8 plate Knox Ricochet one. But I have quite a long back! Best bet you be try one on and get the shop to use the measurment board thingy against you're spine.

£79.99 from Hein Gericke

Do you ride a bike enough to justify one ;)

I'd argue the opposite. If you ride less often, it's more likely that something would spook you into having an off, in which case, a back protector wouldn't go amiss ;)

I am 6'1 and have 9 bar knox protector. It feels a bit big and stops me moving my head a bit, probably due to having to share the same trouser with the remains of my winter excess.
