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...
Have always used the in jacket back protectors in the past, but having found it impossible to find one that would fit the available pocket of my favourite jacket I went for this instead. The waist belt could be a little longer but that just reminds me to keep my weight down.... apart from that, completely comfy and wouldn't know it was there.
I did wonder if it would fit as I am a 5'2", short waisted woman, size 12-14 petite woman. My concern being that it would hang out of the bottom of any gear I was wearing. I was pleasantly surprised that it did fit.
I cannot at the mo tell you what it is like to ride in, but at least you have some idea of what to expect if you are vertically challenged.
I have upgraded to Knox because of the amount of thought that they have put into their capsule Honister range
Easy enough to get on and off, fits well and so light to wear.
The Micro-Lock Air back protectorMKII is perhaps the softest and most comfortable Knox back protector ever made and totally contours to the body. CE certified to the Motorcycle Back Protector Standard EN1621-1 - 2014 Level 2. The Knox Micro-Lock uses Smart technology and properties to keep the armour super soft to touch but it locks when impacted. The locking action increases the amount of impact absorbed by the back protector and reduces the energy passed through to your back.
Back protector sizes:
Small 40cm
Large 50cm
