I just read the little article in this month's Motorcyclist about various back protectors and was curious about use among this group. I wear a helmet, leather jacket, overpants, leather boots, and leather gloves everytime I ride. However, I don't wear a back protector. I'm wondering whether I have omitted a common piece of safety equipment worn by most riders "in the know"
. From the article, I liked the look and specifications of the Forcefield back protector.
My guess is that the majority of racers on this site wear back protection as standard equipment, but how many of you street riders slap on the back protection as a normal part of your pre-ride routine? Also, has anyone (heaven forbid) crash tested a back protector?
