Bought to fit my /wife's LS2 jackets as half the price of LS2 . Fits really well to both jkts . Armour look really well made & comfortable. Hope never to find its effectiveness.
Ordered this to fit a Spada jacket. It fits just right and is comfy to wear.
Fitted perfectly in my RST Alpha jacket. You can hardly notice it while wearing the jacket. Good price too.
Love it absolutely no complaints very good protection also isn’t uncomfortable when riding very good price
I bought this as an insert for a new jacket my partner got me for fathers day.
I mean its armour but its pliable, feels great quality and I trust it to do its job should I ever need it.
Easy to insert and remove and the crew in the southampton depot are super friendly and helpful.
They even kept my 3 year old entertained with silly games so dad could pick armour and a jacket and check out my next helmet options.

Excellent
Well I treated myself to a new RST jacket but sadly it didn't come with a back protector so I needed to buy one. I called in at sportsbikeshop in Boston to check out what was available and I looked at several and it conclusion I found this to fit best and also the feel of it when fitted was very comfortable and warm. I wanted also to ensure I got a Level 2 protection and this is. Another reason I chose this one was also that the week before I purchased a DXR jacket from Boston and if I didn't get on with this in my RST jacket I would put it in my DXR jacket but I'm more than happy with it and will be purchasing another one for the DXR jacket.
Highly recommend to everyone and one last thing the price is amazing and after all it's a bit more protection at just the price of some fish and chips.
Ride safe out there and get yourself down to Sportsbikeshop Boston
Good bit of kit, fits well in my Oxford jacket. Not too heavy.
For a jacket size protector it’s as good as you get. Level 2 and pliable material like many others but half the price. Good fit for RST
Not tested its effectiveness (thankfully) but it fits in well
A very competitively priced back protector and fits nicely into my RST textile jacket.
light and massive
Great price and fits my Alpinestars jacket perfectly. Comfortable when wearing the jacket. Definitely recommended!
Was very competitive price fits perfectly and is a quality product perfect couldnt be happier
I bought this to go in my RST S1 jacket as there were no RST back protectors in stock at my local store and this was recommended by the staff. It fits in the jacket a treat and is comfortable whilst wearing. I can't comment on the protection level and I hope I never have to test it but it gives peace of mind.
Great back protector. Used it for an alpinestars Andes jacket and fits perfect. Staff super helpful there as always
It covers the back very well and is comfortable
Does as intended - brought it for my DXR jacket and of course fit perfectly

The DXR Back Protector Insert CE Level 2 (Size M or L) will likely fit the Merlin Belmont 2 Jacket, but it is not a "made-to-measure" fit.
You should be fine with this one.
This back protector will be a little too small for that jacket, I suggest checking out the Alpinestars Nucleon Plasma Back Protector; the description includes dimensions that will help you choose the correct size for your jacket.
The height is 15", width is 9.5".
The height is 16", width is 10".
This protector is 25cm wide at the widest point, and 42cm in height.
