What brand and style back/spine protectors are you guys wearing?

This is what I was thinking of getting. Anyone have this or have any other suggestions?

Can't go wrong with Alpinestar.

This one might be better as it is designed to work with most Alpinestars suits.

I agree with you.

Now all I have to do is call Alpinestars and figure out what size I need. They sell them in S, M, L but don't list a fit guide. I'm 5'8" but have a broad chest. Would be nice if they also listed what suit sizes each size protector would work best with.

give me some time and i will get back to you. My guys in parts are really helpful with any accessories.


I'll get back to you.

From what i hear, Bahn is the way to go.

Any specific model I should consider? Have any links to who has them for a good price?

I have the old version of this one, it came with my Dainese suit:

Never had to use it, and don't want to. It fits fine for me and fits to the bottom og my tailbone. It is stiff and feels like it might offer protection. I think that the crucial point is the fitment and having it stay in place.

For my Vanson Velociraptor jacket, it has a foam back pad in it, better then nothing.

Hey By-Tor, I agree with Crash, get the Alpinestars, its a solid protector, and its from a company you know.

Hey Rome, what is the model and where did you get it?

Here's some info, pics, pricing from a great site to deal with (top rate service so far in mine and friends experiences...)
