I'm quite happy with my TPro Forcefield Back Protector.

I got the JR speedmaster back protector and it feels damn good on my back it actually don't slide around a lot like other back protectors, it's also light and not as bulky

I

my Knox Ricochet back protector (see STG's review here:‪Knox Ricochet Back Protector review Sportbiketrackgear.com‬&rlm; - YouTube) , folds nicely too into my locker at one of my jobs. Its not bulky, usually wear it under my jackets. Im waiting for the Knox chest protector KNOX Chest Protector from SportbikeTrackGear.com , the larger black one that attaches to the chest protector, bought it from Sportbike Track Gear (They are awesome!!!

),
but they are going to ship out with my Icon Stryker Elbow ICON Field Armor Stryker Elbow from SportbikeTrackGear.com and Knee guards ICON Field Armor Stryker Knee from SportbikeTrackGear.com that are on back order Until August (Icon production division REALLY needs to get it's act together!!!)

Why didn't you go with the knox cross knee guards? They are cheaper, and knox is a MUCH better brand than icon. Plus you won't have to wait on them.

Hmmm, you REALLY have me thinking now....?? Great question, I saw then video from icon on them and ready liked them and how they look, but Knox is real quality armor, so thanks for pointing this out man!

I looked for awhile before buying my knox. Almost all the reviews of the Icon's said they slid down the persons legs everytime they wore them. I wear mine under shift kevlar jeans, and they always stay in place. The three strap system works well. They make elbow armor too, which is also cheaper. http://stores.sportbiketrackgear.com/Detail.bok?no=4153

I like my knox ricochet back protector so much, I feel it covers my tailbone and complete back, I normally remove my jacket's back armor, since they cover less and most aren't CE anyway.
I ended up going with alpinestars elbow guards and handroid Pods for now instead of the icon stryker guards, so my next purchase will be to upgrade my "champions" stopping power, to help prevent incidents in the first place!
