Just gone throught the same exercise myself. As you probably have, I've done quite of bit web searching and asking around. Know was mentioned lots as in the above posts. However, in the end, I opted for the Forcefield T-Pro, not least because some racers I spoke to have recently switched from Knox to this one, and when I checked with Hideout leathers, who sell both, they also recommended the T-Pro. The make a race version which protects your tail-bone (as do Knox). It is more pliable and fit easier under leathers (at least in my case). I was pretty impressed and have also used Knox in the past.

IMO, either one will do the job. Best advice, try them both.

Thanks Felix!

Just been to the Forcefield website - http://www.forcefieldbodyarmour.co.uk/

Looks like Infinity stocks this brand as well. So I'll be able to compare and contrast.

I use a Knox also when I use the 2 piece, but use the Dianese one I got with my one piece when i wear that. Reason being I cant get the Knox on underneath the one piece.

But Domski's suggestion of trying one on before you buy is a good idea, see what fits under your gear and is comfortable

I've been looking for one of these for a while, but not found one. I know that TP bought the longer version (2000?) at the Ally Pally show, but I've not seen them advertised anywhere.

I know somewhere that sells them. PM/ring me for details.

I even found them on the web for you!! sheesh!

And Phillc, I have a one piece suit here you haven't bothered to try on and told you all about the back protectors! Why do I bother trying to help people!!!!!!!!!

:alien: :alien:

Did anyone hear something then?

No?

My mistake ;)

:lol:

Zip it you unemployed bum!

How's that transponder you said you'd lend me coming along? Got the number handy?

You were busy working yesterday (sheesh) when I wanted to talk about stuff. And of course it's always best to get a wider range of opinions! Plus who wants to wear your smelly old clothes. :-P

you are a moody git - what's happened, been working ?????? ;)

Knox do quite a few different ones now, £80-100 or £69.99 for small man or lady, even tho stowaway one is good, the ricochet is quite flat and very comfy and moulds to your back, as everyone says all very comfy those ones.

Definately try before you buy with your suit though.
