Back protection
Having signed up for the next trackday i have started to consider getting some back protection
theres a lot out there, some looks very uncomfortable and huge and most likely too hot even in the UK in june.
I have read good stuff about D30 material and it works in my gloves, well when i hit something rather than throwing my self up the road as a test.

Re: Back protection
Back protection is always a good thing to have for road or track just incase something was to go wrong.
I have used a back protector for years but just invested in one off these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/15241739 ... 7228271021" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Re: Back protection
I have a full knox back protector and it's very comfy. Have used it on track here, Portugal and Spain and haven't had any issues with being too hot at all.

Re: Back protection
Ditto the Knox, very happy with mine. Comfortable all day whether on the road in my jacket or track in full leathers.
old and disgraceful so doing what I can while I can before I can't

Like my Forcefield. Gets a touch sweaty but doesn't break down like the traditional honeycomb
Re: Back protection
Knox for me as was cheap at the time.

Re: Back protection
Knox here.
By the way. I have the knox chest protector for sale as it wouldn't fit in my leathers. £15 if anyone is interested.

Re: Back protection
I have a full length Gialli back protector and wouldn't ride on track without it. I have worn through my leathers and been knocked out with the force of landing on my back, but the protector saved my spine. And a chest protector saved my ribs when I went through the screen. Don't skimp, and make sure the back protector covers your coccyx too!
I seem to make a good crash test dummy.

Re: Back protection
I definitely need to get one, but wasn't sure it would fit under leathers. Is there anywhere local that sells ForceField stuff, in particular the Pro L2K EVO.

Re: Back protection
Don't forget to take the piece of foam inside the leathers out first.
