I'm looking to buy a good back protector soon so; What brand do you have, what style, and does it feel right under a jacket or fit good inside a one piece? |

Alpinestar, can't remember the specific style, but it fits well under a jacket and one piece suit as well. Icon, chest and back protector it also works well under both |

I just bought a Knox Aegis. Haven't tried it on yet, but it looks to be top quality. http://stores.sportbiketrackgear.com/Detail.bok?no =4157 |

My wife and I wear Knox ones-couple of years old, but very comfortable and great quality. |

Juggernaut - back, chest, shoulders and arms. It's like a shirt; I can wear it under any jacket http://www.webbikeworld.com/r3/motorcycle-armor/velocity-gear/juggernaut.htm

I've been wondering about the Dainese G2. Anybody try that? |

Bohn makes a very complete line of body armor for road and track. http://www.bohnarmor.com/ |

What I like about the Knox armor is that it covers the whole back, not just the spine. The straps don't go up under the armpit either, which will be great for a long day in the saddle. Sportbiketrackgear has a good demonstration video about it. I also like the shirt that Midnightrider shows. The armor won't move around on you with that setup, good for trackdays, a hassle for casual riding since you now will have two jackets to take off when you stop for a break. Come to think of it, I'll have the same problem with the back protector I just bought. |

anybody have experience in the icon field armor chest and back protector? I am thinking about it for commute use not track duty. |

Field armor feels nice, not too thick. Built well and usually can find em cheap on sale. Hope that helps.... |

I have also considered the protective shirt idea, and may eventually go that route. I just made arrangements to buy an older-than-new Bohn Proracer Cool Air and expect it next week. I'm still interested in what others have so; more info please. |
