thomas maraschiello lockport,  NY Neccessary I have all Alpinestars gear and the medium RC protector fits great in my large spinner jacket and medium T-Breeze jacket. In my leather its not noticeably stiff because the leather is thick, but in the airflow jacket its stiff, but I had back surgery and feel safer with it on. It’s easy to remove for a night out too. Would buy this again.

randy meliota rancho palos verdes,  CA Alpinestars-RC Back Protector These are well built back protectors (I bought 3) that fit perfectly in my 3 Stunt Leather jackets that I use for track days. These are approved. The price was excellent also.

Sean Tempesta San Francisco,  CA Seemed a little large, but cheap CE protection I ordered a medium to put in my medium Alpinestar's 7-10WP jacket -- and when I lean over I can feel it poking up within my jacket. So, minus the minor shoulder hump that this adds, it seems like great back armor at a great price.

MH Yardley,  MI Back Protector This piece is EXTREMELY hard and rigid, as noted above. I would only find myself wearing this when doing serious long rides or even track days. I feel it makes the jacket too cumbersome for "quick" rides.

JC Granbury,  TX MUST HAVE!!!! I can't believe that this is not a standard part of the AS jackets. If you are going to spend the money to buy a good, armored jacket, then it only makes sense to spend a little more to get this back protector. Installs in 2 minutes and gives you protection in the most important part of your upper body. I'd recommend installing it before you ever wear your jacket so you won't feel that it is slightly stiffer. However, it has no effect on my movement. This is a MUST BUY! Without it, it'd be

Dave richmond,  KS RC back protector I got this as a replacement for my Alpinestars ice jacket's dinky foam piece. This armor is tremendously thick and tough, in a good way, but that's also the problem, it's like wearing a surfboard on your back. Does not bend or contort in anyway, so it takes some getting used too.
