Default Body armor and back protection.

Anyone every use this or use any other back protector. I liked this icon vest because I have broken ribs on 2 occasions and it might help reduce that injury as well.

That icon vest would be nice to have, but I only use my icon leather jacket which does have some padding in it anyway.

Most of my gear has hard armor in it but I want a back protector as well, I will have to find a local dealer that has it so i can try it on, thinking it may be to bulky.

my friend got a jacket and there was a zipper space to put the armor thing for your back, kind of cool since it's a lether jacket and you can put that in or not..... and with it in it doesn't look like it's there anyways.....

That would be cool NS.... looks like it would help with rib protection. Especially when you are at the track....
