Back protector?

Ozz · Feb 22, 2017

Having moved from a Ducati to a Triumph I will have to change my Dainese jacket as it was Ducati liveried....

Looking around I think I am going for a Dainese Hawker but when looking I noticed most of the back protectors these days are quite small.

I am still rocking a full length Dainese one from years ago which goes from neck to ass.

What ones do people on here use? I am happy with mine and feel very protected but it is quite bulky and you have to tuck it into the trousers which is a bit tight.....

Generally an uprated forcefield insert in my jackets.
Used to wear a separate under my one-piece leathers on track days, but don't really hoon around on the America.

No the Dainese jackets dont come with them but have the pocket for them to go into.

Looking at the Dainese Manis protector its 48.5cm long which is probably nearly the same as what I have but without all of the straps that hold the other one on.

Think it may be time to change!

Hmm read a couple of reviews and watched the Revzilla review (love the guys that do those reviews) and think for £50 it will be worth adding to the order when I place it. Would be nice to not have a blooming great separate one inside the jacket....

I use a separate one, but it's pretty long so I tuck it in my trousers - I prefer to have a bit of protection on my lower back...each to their own.

Saw them at the London mcn show a few years ago. Good value for a level 2 protector....
