mic Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 Hi!Ive purchased a Bering jacket. The ad says it has built in back support, but at it is seems to be a foam pad. Is that classed as protection?!thanks Quote
Guest Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 Hi!but at it is seems to be a foam pad. Is that classed as protection?!thanks As far as they are concerned, yes. You can change it for something more rigid (different armour, not a lump of ply .. ) if you prefer. Quote
mic Posted August 24, 2010 Author Posted August 24, 2010 ok thanks... and what sort of protection would one expect from it?! is a lovely jacket but id be suprised if it took anything more than a pat on the back Quote
dimmers Posted September 11, 2010 Posted September 11, 2010 its probably ce level 1 protection (hopefully it is anyway).personally i'd ditch that and get a proper back protector, something like the Knoxx aegis, or a forcefield, as they are CE level 2 and offer much better protection.but if you want something just to put in your jacket, then again i'd check out Knoxx. http://www.bigbikebook.com/14987/KNOX-ADVANCE-X-UPGRADE-BACK-PART-66.html(interesting thread from another site http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/equipment-reviews/best-back-protection-inserts-full-37967) Quote
