I've seen some that looked like they had a peice to protect your upper back? Not sure if this one has it or not.

Thanks in advance for any help!

i don't believe that jacket has a back protector. at best it has CE approved padding, which doesn't do much for impact.
most jackets don't have a hard back protector.

How how good would this jacket hold up for someone that doesnt really do any tricks. And how would a jacket like this one compare to something like the Icon Motorhead jacket or an alpinestars Jacket?

this jacket will hold up just fine for someone who does no tricks...cause it's not only wheelies and stoppies that make you crash...it's everything else out there.
as far as holding up...i say just as good as the middle line alpinestars...

about icon motorhead...well, i have my reservations about icon...but that's another thread. just know that you can take this one to the track but you can't take the icon to the track...nor is icon gear meant for the track...this is according to their site.
