+1. I believe YC has a Knox back protector which has done its job very well so far. He's also got a Knox backpack whihc doesn't seem to have given any problems yet either, had 'em a fair bit now.
As far as I'm concerned, any extra layer that stays between your skin and the surface you're landing on is good news, whether that be Kevlar, foam or plastic. Even if it doesn't look/feel much, if it saves you the odd fracture or skin damage then its well worth it in my opinion.
YC explained to me - the other day when we were shopping in Lidl
- the difference between foam and hard plastic in back protectors (and therefore I will assume armour in general) and how it makes every difference spending that little bit more to get something which will do the job properly, but then that goes without saying!
