Ton Lewisville,  TX Back Protector Ordered a medium to go with my small AStars AirFlo Sniper Jacket. Fits perfectly. Very sturdy, like a board as others have mentioned, but it doesn't bother me any. When you "hunch" over a bit, you can tell, but no biggie. Good purchase!

Howard B Atlanta,  GA too thick I had to return it - it's about an inch thick and solid i.e. not flexible so it won't fit under a jacket

Grant Castro Valley,  CA Worth the Extra money. If you buy an Alpinestar jacket, do yourself a favor and get the spine guard. It just might save your back.

Melinda Newport News,  VA It is what it is I bought this for an alpinestars jacket, but the jacket didn’t fit, so I put this in my Fieldsheer that only came with a soft foam in the back. Hope to never have to really find out how well it works, but it’s there if I need it!

GSXR Rider Bronx,  NY Great addition for more protection I added this to my RC1 jacket & after a few rides I hardly noticed it. When you feel this piece in your hand versus the once that comes with most jacket, you'll immediately realize the value your safety. I have not crashed with this piece but for the price, it's well worth it.

Divino NY,  NY Peace of Mind The product seems to be good. However, I hope to never find out on a field test. It fit right into my Astars jacket. Offers peace of mind at the least.

Tony M Chattanooga,  TN comfortable I barely notice that this back protecting insert is in my jacket. It is soft and pliable enough that it molds to my jacket and back.

doug Seattle,  WA RC back protector I got this to replace the wimpy foam pad in my Alpinestar Spinner jacket. Its kind of a slab of hard foamcore, but its definitely more protection than what it replaced. Hope to never test it.

kgutierrez Greeley,  CO Peace of mind I added this back protector to my A* RC1 airflow jacket, and fit perfectly. Seems that it would give the protection that would be needed ... hope that I never have to find out. Is very stiff/not flexible, so took some getting used to.
