Fits my RST S1 mesh D30 textile jacket perfectly. A must have for rider safety.
It fitted nicely into my RST jacket and looked a quality product
Does what it says. Quick delivery and reasonably priced.
Fits well into jacket great price
Bought this for my RST S1 suit. This fits perfectly into the RST suit. I compared these to the Alpinestar ones that are rated the same level of protection. Yes the Alpinestar ones were slightly lighter but for the price point of value the extra weight is justifiable
Its a level 2 protector without the big price tag. Fits lovely in my new DRX Zack jacket, but I feel it may fit in other makes of jacket as well.
Item as described providing adequate protection in the unfortunate accidents that can happen.
Flexible and not too thick - Good fit to the jacket
I asked at the desk and they brought me the right one straight off. Very helpful. Also a comfortable fit. Thumbs up
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.
My go to for mbike gear.
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

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.
