Title: Back protector recommendations
Post by: Green_Ninja on July 14, 2013, 01:51:42 PM
OK guys and gals, I've had a Knox Ricochet back protector for about 9 years now, the shoulder straps are buggered and it's not a comfortable to wear as it used to be so what back protector is the best nowadays ???

And another Forcefield here.

The new Knox / Spidi vests with the integrated back protector and chest protector (removable) look pretty good though.
