I am sure somebody out there might be interested.... Are you sure they are for use on a motorbike?The Lidle that has sprung up round the corner from where I live was selling back protectors. They were advertised (on the wrapping) for use when skiing or snowboarding. I thought about buying one but didn't think they would be up to the job.

Korben Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 A good price for a CE approved back protector....BUT!!!Comfort would seriously worry me with something so cheap.... Being uncomfy could cause an accident.£15..... Call me sceptical, but CE approved or not I would never wear one instead of my £80 Knox Contour....You can get CE Level 2 approved now which are even safer.Each to their own at the end of the day though.....Oh, moving this topic to Clothing and Accessories section!!

Susieque Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Cheers j_ase, might well go and check these out! Gotta be better than not having one, and not much money spent if it's not the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_ase Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 Well peeps, when I was there I did have a good look for any indication what they were used for and there wasn't anything to say...I would have to agree with Susie anything is better than nothing.

Susieque Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Tried one of the back protectors on - seems to fit pretty well so bought one! £14.67!! If it doesn't fit/work right under my jacket etc at least its only £15 wasted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
