My mate needs to know which make/model of back protector is suitable for the
purpose-made pocket in the back of his RST Dyno one-piece suit.
He has asked his local RST dealer but they say RST don't make/stock one
specifically and, amazingly, there are no contact details on the RST website
for asking anyone there.

Anyone here know?

Cheers

Tell him not to bother and to get a seperate one that straps to his
body.

And for that I recommend the t-pro forcefield back protector:
http://www.tprobodyarmour.co.uk/ff_back.html

It's light and flexible which means it's comfy and you forget about it,
and it doesn't make you overheat in summer. It appears to rate well in
the standards testing too.

Ah... that's reminded me of something I've been meaning to ask.

Once you get a back protector, does it have a limited life? Do
you have to replace it after 3 years or 5 year or whatever? or
does it just carry on being OK forever, unless it gets damaged?

Do GLF do a lower back protector or summat, i would like a lightweight
sort of thing around my lower spine as sometimes i get backache etc.

Strange request perhaps.

The intention is not to crash, i do have some protection in the jacket
i wear, but still get backache on long journeys.

Agreed there. Having said that, Pip used to wear a Hein Gericke neoprene
kidney belt for the same reasons Alan wants something. He reckoned it
was the business..........until he bought a Knox back protector.

Sounds like you need a Kidney Belt. Verr popular round here, for wome
reason. I'm sure you must be able toi get them in the UKK too,
although I'd never seen them until I moved here.
