Yeah its the same one i wear. Ive not crashed in it touch wood but they are supposed to be the best on the market and came top by a big margin in  all the protection tests.

Very comfy too being soft,rather than solid plastic like knox,astars etc.

I've got one of these too and I have to say they are bloody comfy .. well once you've got the one piece over it  :lol:

I tend to forget I've got it on, the only word of warning I'd have is don't let your keys near it  :emb: :emb:

So are these comfortable enough for a trip, i.e. wearing all day long?

 Mine is similar,a Hein Gericke one. Comfy all day but sweaty back syndrome when it is hot. Small price to pay for protecting your spine.  B-)
