Is yours the CE approved version? If it isn't, you're really only wearing foam.

I wear an Icon back guard because it is super thin but strong. Sometimes I wear my jacket with the foam protector still in it and my Icon back guard. It's only like 100$.

Anything is better than nothing, but I'd stay away from ones with metal in them because the friction of sliding may cause them to heat up and burn you.

I have no idea? It a Feildsheer jacket with alot of armor in it. The back protector is foam, but very stiff and firm.

RE: back protector

the back protectors are different from the back armor/pads in jackets. They are made to help prevent your back from bending back to far. Armor n pads dont do this and just protect from impacts.

+1 on the quoted info.
+1 on asking for Gear :)

I personally use this under my Alpinestar Stunt 2 textile jacket. Its the AlpineStars Bionic Back Protector.
