Re: [ST] Back Protector (Dainese)

[SELLAR Euan <euan.sellar@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've got a Dainese back protector (plastic exterior) which has shoulder straps,
and a strap around the waist to keep it in place. It looks bulky but is actually
comfortable. I really only notice it when the weather is hot --  an additional
layer doesn't help dispel body heat. I guess that's the price of safety.

Cheers

Euan
