daveinlim Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 I bought this recently. I've used it in my jacket for about 6 hours. If I glue it back together would it still protect or is it completely useless now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 You could, but I wouldn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiBob Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Best option is to buy another but if the choice is between that or none at all then I would still use it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxie49 Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 As has already been said, personally speaking, I would invest in a new one, however, as Bob said, if it was that or nothing then I'd use it in the short term Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackieOWheels Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 That back protector looks like it's just made out of foam. I won't use it as it probably won't offer much protection, doubt it's even CE certified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBS are posting a replacement as it's only a few weeks old. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Westerly Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 (edited) I had a jacket a few years ago which had a back protector like that - bloody surfboard it was. After a couple of hot months decided to wash the jacket so removed back protector which came out in 3 pieces. Quite shocked tbh as I'd not come off or anything. Can only assume it was from sitting down on some cafe chairs or something. Since changed jacket and now use one of these D30 type you can roll up. Much thinner and cooler too.
