If it feels like armour in your bike kit then the law demands it is actually proper, protective armour. Here's how to tell how effective your impact protection is...
The back protector has earned positive feedback from customers for its comfort and fit within various Oxford jackets, adding a valuable protective layer. Customers highlighted its slim, lightweight design, making it feel almost unnoticeable while riding. However, some noted a discrepancy with Velcro placement requiring additional adjustments. Despite this, the quality is praised, offering peace of mind about safety. Many customers appreciate its flexibility, cushioning, and breathable design. Overall, it's deemed a reliable and necessary addition to enhance jacket protection.
How can you rate something you hope you'll never need.
However this feels a lot stiffer & hopefully offers more protection that the level 1 back protector I have in my other jacket.
It's not stiff like a lump of wood though & moulds to your body once worn & heated up.
Seems too cheap for a level 2 protector. It fits the jacket I bought it for perfectly but you do need to make sure it warm to be able to bend it in.
I expected it to be longer. It is very flexible however and moulds to your back with ease. I hope I never get the chance to try it out for real!!
Weise scout has L1 back armour, this protector is the same physical size but level 2. It is of course firmer so needs to be well warmed to get it in. Maybe not as much airflow as I would have liked for a hot weather jacket protector, but since it is not sold for that I am happy.
Got this for my mondial street jacket, would be nice if the pocket and protector went lower down the back but it's solid
Fits my Oxford jacket perfectly and doesn't feel too uncomfortable. Great value.
After fitting this in my Oxford hoodie it fits just right and is comfortable when it's moulded to my back after a few hours
Fits my Montreal 4 jacket perfectly and feels comfortable, hardly noticed it was there.
Fits and works well, can be quite firm on cold days
The Oxford Level 2 Back Protector Insert is a solid choice for motorcyclists seeking a high-quality, budget-friendly option to enhance their safety gear. Meeting CE Level 2 standards, it offers impressive impact resistance, which is especially reassuring for riders looking for elevated protection on the road. The insert is flexible, allowing it to fit snugly and adapt to the rider's back, improving comfort without compromising safety. Plus, it's lightweight, so it doesn't add significant bulk to a riding jacket.
One standout feature is its perforated design, which promotes good airflow. This ventilation is a big plus during hot weather or long rides, keeping you cooler and reducing sweat buildup. However, the insert may be slightly too long for some jackets, so check dimensions carefully to ensure a perfect fit. Also, it might feel a bit stiff initially, but it tends to soften over time as it molds to your body.
Overall, the Oxford Level 2 Back Protector Insert is a reliable, cost-effective upgrade for motorcyclists looking for extra protection. While it may require some break-in time, its blend of safety, comfort, and ventilation makes it a great value option.
Perfect fit in Mondial jacket, very comfortable . Excellent service from SBS
Although Oxfords level 2 back protector insert resembles a steam rolled SpongeBob, it fits snuggly into Oxford's Hinterland Jacket and becomes more flexible and comfortable as it warms up to body temperature.
The Velcro strip helps to hold it in position, and it is easy to install in the pocket of the jacket lining.
The downsides for me are that it is not adjustable in the Hinterland jacket and does not cover the lower portion of the back enough.
While Oxfords back protector is not outrageously expensive and is good value for the money, back protection really should be included with all jackets, regardless of make.
Excellent service from Sportsbikeshop with fast delivery.
Inexpensive but will no doubt reduce the risk of a serious injury. Fits in Oxford jacket perfectly and not uncomfortable.
This is a perfectly good product which fits easily into the Oxford continental advanced jacket we bought for my step-son.
Five star service from Sportsbikeshop and the only reason I'm only giving the product four stars is that I believe that a back protector should be included with the jacket, not an optional extra at further cost on top of the jacket.
But should really be already included in the Oxford jacket
Good protector and comfortable. Oxford have come a long way in last few years. Wanted this for my wife's jacket but were out of stock at the time. Lady in the MK shop told me if I could wait til it came back in I could order it now and get the sale price. Got an email when it came back in , job done.
Only saved a few quid on this occasion but it's the service in this branch that keeps them top on my list when buying kit.
I was struggling to find a reasonably priced comfortable back protector for a denim jacket I have that come without one. I bought this one because I struggled to get The right one in the UK a protector that fit. so I bought this one as a level two and it comes with velcro adhesive. Makes it perfect. It's not as comfortable as d30 level 2 but it's almost half the price.
Highly recommend.
fits well and stays in position with the Velcro its comfortable and good value
