Good Back Protector??

[SIII]

Forcefield do an insert for most jackets- LINKY 6 different shapes to fit.

Fits nicely in my Halvarssons jacket and way cheaper then Halvarssons own insert,

Found a seperate item too uncomfortable so this is a good compromise.

Yeah Ive heard reports that separates get uncomfortable. I'll probably go for an insert, easier then as well.

So it sounds like forcefield is the way to go, cheers for the link

Even though force field make the halvarssons ones well, they used to anyway.

I have one of these

It's a lot easier to put on and a lot more comfortable than other protectors I've tried.

I have found that with the standard ones they ride up unless you have one piece leathers on. I have also crashed in it and it fared pretty well.

I have one of these...http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/vie...d=230933443632

I bought it as I wanted some front protection too, very important if you go over the handlebars as you're likely to have your mirrors try and impale your intestines.

Very, very comfortable, you forget you're wearing it tbh, haven't crashed in it but most armour will offer similar protection in a crash so I don't agree with only buying a forcefield one as they are quite expensive.

I got the above for £80 off hein gerickes eBay store about 18 months ago, I nearly paid £150 for it in my local bike store.

I have a full armoured shirt for green laning which has a built in full back protector, cost me £35 from nec bike show, fell off loads of times with that on, had it nearly two years and still going strong, it's very similar to forcefield's armoured shirt @£200, not worth the extra money IMO.

Got the Knox like L3nny too, bought it at the Bike Show in November last year, comfortable.

Those all round protectors look ideal, don't know how comfy they'd be for a female though, haha! I'll have to search for a ladies version, there's bound to be one.

It's been a right pain searching for one... I'd prefer to try one on before I buy as I have no idea what will fit me, but the places around here have limited stock! eBay or bike shows seem the cheapest.

Hannah, I have one of these, a Halvarssons Track Back Protector, its really comfy. I'm a size 10 and so have the S size and the velcro waistband is a comfy snug fit. Probably had it nearly 4 years now I reckon, can't Knox it

Looks like a re branded Forcefield Maria, the construction is identical

Always considered swapping my standard RST hard rubber back protector for a Knox one but I'm never sure if it's worth it?
