Default 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

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

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.

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.
