If I remember rightly when RIDE magazine did their tests, the 'Odell Forcefield' came out tops  :icon_thumright:

I've got one of these and it feels ok to me, it was highly rated a few years back so if it was safe then it's safe now in my book  :icon_thumright:

the best back protector is the one that fits your back the best. it should be long enough to cover your spine but not so long that under your leathers it causes the protector to ruck. width is also important. i found the best thing to do was to go to a bike show or a dealer that stocks a few different makes.

personally i only have experience of Racer and Knox back protectors. the latter have a good range and even a roll-up version for storage.

the race is long and in the end, its only against yourself...
