This is a pre emptive strike before back protectors become compulsory at the TT.
Having never worn one does anyone know which is the least obtrusive and most compact model ? I am hoping to find something that will fit my current leathers to avoid having to have another set made.
Back protectors.
Re: Back protectors.
A simple home made one using 5mm dense foam and a belt will suffice, and be least obtrusive it will fit under your leathers without alteration.
It may not offer the same protection as a very expensive custom one, but it will be comfortable to use, this is what I use at Belgium meetings where they are compulsory and they check to see you are wearing it each time you go out.

Re: Back protectors.
Afraid it's not as simple as that Howard. For the TT they have to meet a particular standard. I've not got the email to hand but it states it in there.
I'll have a look in the morning.
Cheers
