Recommend me a back protector

don't really know much about the current protectors, but been using a knox for the last ten years. never had any issues with it, nice and comfy.

Looks like it's pretty much unanimous then!

Forcefield - I had a Knox contour for a while and it was Ok, but it kept riding up at the neck - which isn't good!!

I also forget I'm wearing the forcefield after a while too.

The forcefield looks a bit thin, does it really do the job? It's been done to death by ride and given top marks but so have their other kit which suggests to me that they're paying them off? Or it is just that good?!!

Oh and anyone 6'1" by any chance? Medium or large as I'm right on the border of sizing!

Never used it in anger, but it passes the higher level of the EN-1612 standards, so I recon it's ok

I'm 6'0.5" and went for a medium

i just got a Knox Ricochet, great piece of kit.. i found the neck cutout was the selling factor for me as the rest seemed to 'cut' into my neck.

I have a Forcefield back protector and would definately recommend it.

Have you already ordered one?

when i got mine i also got one for my boyfriend. He tried it on, muttered something about him being indistructable and then put it back in it's box - where it still is. I keep meaning to stick it on Ebay but never get round to it, maybe i should post it on here instead

What size is it?

hi

Its a large, it's odd because there's only one size of protector for women but men have 3 sizes to choose from, i was worried that when they arrived mine wouldn't fit.

The first time i wore mine was a 200mile plus trip to scotland. After the first 5-10 mins i forgot i was wearing it and it molded to my shape nicely, it's very lightweight. I also like the extra layer it gives me as i feel the cold realy easily, although i haven't been to hot/uncomfy in it but i wear textiles not leathers so haven't tested that aspect.

i used the sizing chart on their main website, as thats were a bought them from, it's acurate as it does fit the BF perfectly- i just can't get him to wear it!
