Back Protector Recomdenations

[ColdOnes]

Any recommendations on a back protector with scapula protection? My Dainese is done and they don't make it anymore.

I just get whatever looks best with my wife beater.

Forcefield sub 4 offers the most protection on the market.

Sounds about right for a BMW guy!

Forcefield sub 4 offers the most protection on the market.

I have a Sub 4 and did buy it because it manages the most energy of what's on the market thus far. The one thing about it is that it can be on the thick side.
If you're buying one, bring your jacket or suit when you do so you get a feel for the fitment.

I really like the new Dainese Pro-Armor back protector (CE level 2), it breathes well and It is so slim I don't even notice it when on...unlike my Forcefield.

I slid about 100' on a basic alpinestars bionic jacket insert in a 30mph lowside.
5/7 extremely comfortable, would ride again. No bruising nor adverse effects. YMMV.

I've also gone 200' downhill on my back on a ski slope on a Dainese articulated back protector vest. Again, extremely comfortable, no bruises. I wear the moto equivalent now.

I Googled it but couldn't find any evidence. :mad
I'm fairly I sure I saw a reference in a documentary that he constructed one of the first prototypes using discarded visor shields.
...but as I said, now I can't prove it.
