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...

This Level 1 protector is flexible, lightweight and undetectable in use. It fitted neatly into the pocket on a Berik textile jacket. Recommended.
Very pleased with this. Bought it to go in my new Alpinestars jacket and it’s so slim and flexible you hardly know it’s there.
I bought this to replace the thin foam protector that came in my Alpinestars Stella leather jacket. It was difficult to get the correct size to fit in the pocket and not move around. I ended up with a Medium for a women's size 10 (Euro 44) jacket. Not a perfect fit, as a different shape to the pocket but stays in place. Comfortable and not too bulky.
Fits perfectly in a large andies 3 jacket the soft fabric covered side that’s against your back makes a difference from other back protectors I’ve tried. Very comfortable
The back protector arrived well packaged. It met the description entirely. it slipped into the jacket without problems. no issues at all with ordering process. Easy and straight forward.
Brilliant quality back protector compared with other nucleon types.
Lightweight and comfortable in my Andes v3
Much lighter than earlier versions and a good fit for my Alpinestars Andes jacket. It comes in different sizesso ensure you measure first. Can barely feel it. Can't really argue at the price, after all what price safety.
The Alpine Stars back protectors come in a range of sizes, so its easy to find the perfect fit for your jacket.
The construction quality is really good, as you would expect, and the protection rating is ideal for road use.
Despite the thickness of the padding, it remains very comfortable. Even on the longest rides you hardly notice it.
All jackets should come with this level of protection as standard.
Perfect fit and comfortable
Looks good, weighs very little, easy to install into jacket. Makes me feel much more secure riding now that I have a back protector.
Size large fitted perfectly into my Alpinestars hoodie
Great product, good price.
Top quality service from Sportsbikeshop as always! .
I bought a Large back protector to fit an XL jacket. Fitted perfectly.
Very light and comfortable, dont know it's there, great quality from alpine stars and excellent service from sbs
Good fit into Alpinestars jacket and more comfortable than any previously used
Barely even know it's there, it's so light and flexible. What more could you ask for. Fitted in my Alpinestars SP-1 V2 leather jacket.
Fits perfect in my new Bogota pro Jacket,
Bought this for my new Alpinestars Andes jacket, its super light and the fit is perfect, you forget its even there.
Bought this to replace the Alpinestars Nucleon KR-1 Celli Back Protector Insert - Black / Red - L as that one (although it was a level 2) was much too stiff. It was like having a wooden board in the back of the jacket and nothing like my more flexible D30 level 2 in my leathers.
This one is a lot better. So much lighter and hardly noticeable and suits the Alpinestars Andes V3 Drystar Textile Jacket a lot more.
Great help and return system/process from Sportsbikeshop.
