Oh dang, that is sweet! I like how it forms to your back. Oh, no I have not had any experience with this to answer your question and stay on subject.

Well the first back protector was created by Dianese (for road racing)... so there is my answer on what to buy

I don't have any Knox armor but from multiple reviews that I've previously read, I believe they are first rate!

As for Dianese introducing the first back protector, yes, that's completely true but that doesn't mean they always have been or always will make the best one.

No body makes the best gear period. They do make a nice affordable back protector though. I never said they were the best, I just said that is what I would get but I guess reading comprehension is lacking on this site

I have a Knox back protector, but it doesn't look like that picture. I haven't "field tested" it yet, but it did have the best rating when I bought it.

If you test that out at the track on June 1st, the pimp hand will be raised, several times.

We will stay shiny side up on this track day

ohhhhhhh, good idea there

Lazy, you must wear the pink shirt of shame the entire time you are on the track so we can spot you easily. We can't let that shirt stay retired.

I think I will go pick up 6 cans of hot pink, and we will repaint that yammy this weekend. Then your pink shirt will match the bike
