I think it looks like it has great protection but it looks like the neck protector would make hanging off, with your upper body low, and looking through the turn nearly impossible because it appears that the neck protector would hit your helmet.jas0336;34328 wrote: I'm looking at the Knox myself. If I had the money though, I think I'd go with Dainese wave neck. It is a jacket type and has elbows, shoulders, upper arms, back, chest, neck and it looks like it covers the colar bone which is EXTREMELY easy to break. It's over $400 so a bit pricey. It looks like it would move well and seems ventilated but no stores I've seen carry them in stock. I don't feel like ordering just to try it on.

I have that one and really like it. Mine doesn't have the shoulders though, which is nice because my leathers have good shoulder armor already.Lars;33947 wrote: +1 for Alpinestars as well
I am going with the A* Bionic West for this year:
Yhe nice thing is that it also add the chest protection.
I tested Alpinestars backprotector as the one in the west just the stand alone version.

+1.. tested mine several times last year and it held up great and did its job perfectly. I highly recommend!LMsports;33743 wrote: Alpinestars Bionic back protectors carry the highest CE rating that can be currently had. I'm very happy with mine and the price is right.
