My Textile jacket has one in it. I say just get a good jacket with one in it and be done.

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.

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

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