The Best Back Protector in the world is...
-
The truth is, the Best Motorcycle Back Protector for one rider may not be the best for another. With motorcycle armor or protection, fit and comfort are every bit as important as the protection it offers. If your back protector is not comfortable and has you distracted while riding, the likely hood of crashing increases. When selecting a new back protector, the first thing you need to determine is how much space you have under your riding gear to accommodate the additional armor. In our Back Protector comparison we cover both thickness and weight.
Each Back Protector in our comparison is a product we ride in ourselves or believe in enough that we would recommend it to friends and family who ride. We stock all these in our Michigan Warehouse so we can get them to you fast and keep you riding.

Should I wear a Chest Protector?
-
Chest protection is no less important than back protection. Still, we would estimate only 25-30% of riders who wear a back protector pair it with a chest. Adding a Chest Protector to your kit requires even more space inside your race suit or jacket. For this reason we focus on the size and thickness of each protector to help you choose the best one for your application. Just like the Back Protector, the goal of the Chest Protector is to improve protection while maintaining comfort, fit, and mobility.
Each Chest Protector in our comparison is a product we ride in ourselves or believe in enough that we recommend it to friends and family who ride. We stock all these in our Michigan Warehouse so we can get them to you fast and keep you riding.
