nman1 Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 Has anyone on here got the Forcefield Pro L2 back protector. My Knox Contour is too thick to be comfortable under my new leathers and I`ve heard the Forcefield is slimmer and more comfortable. It is also the winner of Ride magazine survey. They are usually at the BMF so I`ll wait to get it then if recommended by folks on this good forum.Ta Quote
chiz Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 They always get good write ups, I've got the new sub4 which is at least twice as thick as the L2, so you might have issues with it. The design is excellent, it's not hard shell armour so it contours to your body, once it 'warms up' it's barely noticeable. I'm not sure if the L2 works the same, but I'd imagine so.Are there no stockists near you where you can try one on as a 'potential buyer'? Quote
nman1 Posted April 16, 2010 Author Posted April 16, 2010 There maybe chiz but i`ll wait and try it on at the BMF. They are normally around half price or just a bit above so i`ts woirth putting up with the Knox until then. Just find it hard to breath in the damn thing Quote
nman1 Posted April 16, 2010 Author Posted April 16, 2010 Dohhh. Good thinking batman. I`ll give it a go.....and breathhhhh. Quote
Guest Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 I have the Pro L2.No problems with thickness, it fits under my jacket just fine - and that's a jacket I bought quite a few years (and a great many pies!) ago.In terms of comfort, it feels just like wearing a rucksack. I know it's there, but it doesn't dig in anywhere and there are no awkward pressure points. Once I've been riding for a minute or so I don't really notice it - though I wouldn't walk about with it on.The only problem I've had with the fit is that if I strap it on tight, it sits quite high and obstructs my helmet when I try to look behind. So I keep the straps a bit looser, which feels odd but means it sits out of the way and means I can move my head properly. Quote
nman1 Posted April 16, 2010 Author Posted April 16, 2010 Cheers Andy, sounds like a good product. Quote
