Teknic 7 Link Spine Protector. Never ride without it. Not that I don't like riding, but I do like being able to walk a little more. In an accident, it might be just what makes the difference.

Personally I use the Bohn back protector. Between it and the KNOX (Rumors are Bohn borrowed KNOX's design!)I think they are the best protection and very comfortable Kneedraggers.com I believe can get it. Or do the old seach. High quality stuff.

I bought a Bohn AC17 the other day. Major feature is the wide elastic belt that holds my gut in so I don't scare away the pit tootsies. If I can't be fast at least I can pose!!!!

Ditto on the Bohn. I bought the KC16A which is their Carbon/Aramid 6 plate. It is comfortable, easily adjustable, and has a good fit. The KC16A is originally disigned for an Aerostitch suit, which personally I found too bulky, returned, and purchased a one piece Kushitani suit. Also picked up their Adventure Pant which provides great protection under jeans. Padding in the knee/shin, hips, thighs, and tailbone.

The built in one ain't to bad, but it does not compare with the Bohn for protection.

as a minimum, i wear the same as red's...i've seen others that appear to provide even more protection...since being enlightened, i never ride with less than full gear and i shudder to think that i used to ride with less...
