BACK PROTECTOR: THE ESSENCE OF PROTECTION
Dainese invented the back protector in 1979. It has since become an essential item for riders, first among the world championship riders and then among all two-wheeled enthusiasts across the world, accompanying them on their every adventure. The back protector is the essence of motorcycle protection.
Selecting the back protector to best suits your needs is fundamental in order to feel free and confident to fully enjoy every turn, in any conditions. This is why we help you to understand which technology is best for you.
LOAD DISSIPATION
The capacity to disperse the energy from an impact is the main characteristic of a protector. The force absorbed is not transmitted to the body of the rider.
BREATHABILITY
The level of ventilation of a back protector determines its comfort and, consequently, a rider's confidence, particularly on the hottest of days
LIGHTNESS
A lightweight protector can be more comfortably worn and over a longer period of time, without affecting your riding or movement in the saddle
FIT & INTEGRATION
Fit and integration with the jacket or leathers are essential characteristics in order to allow as much freedom of movement as possible.
