mic Posted August 24, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 24, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mic Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimmers Posted September 11, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
