It all really depends on what you are looking for... I have a wave G2 that I also purchaed from RevZilla for another Dainese jacket and so I tried it out in my new air mesh2... I decided I wanted something larger to fill the back protector pocket more as the jacket is so thin. This did the job perfectly... it takes up the entire back protector pocket on the jacket (in G2 form)... It covers some extra inches of shoulderblade area that the wave doesn't. It is slightly stiffer than the wave so that may make some people dislike it... this stiffness would be a lot less noticeable in a leather than a mesh jacket... so is it perfect? no... but for the price it definitely fit my bill... it seems like it would hold up in a crash about the same as a wave g2 (but then again I am not an engineer, just a common sense type observation)... Its fairly solid but does have some vent holes... I didn't really notice getting any hotter in the area than without in the mesh jacket so it must be flowing "enough" air...
PS: I don't know if its "kosher" or not but there are the built in "flex" joints that the protector is supposed to flex on... as I stated they don't flex very well or it wouldn't be considered stiff... I personally flexed those joints a bit by hand to loosen them up... but do so at your own risk (don't know if it ruins the crash protection of it or anything but it didn't seem to (no visible/tactile signs of damage))
Yes, I recommend this product.

Not much to say about this other than the fact it literally feels like an ironing board is strapped to your back. I only purchased this particular back pad because CE Level II protection was a must and I had a lot of Revzilla cash from buying my Alien jacket and this was extra cheap. I considered going with the SAS-TEC, which I wish I would've now in retrospect, but didn't want to mess with having to trim it down. I will probably forego the SAS-TEC and eventually get the Forcefield insert for Dainese jackets when I have the spare cash.
The only reason I don't recommend this is because of how uncomfortable it is. If you can deal with this, the it is truly a fine product. I would just suggest you consider the SAS-TEC for the same amount of money.

I can't review the protection/safety aspect of the back protector as I've never crashed in it. All I know is that it meets the CE Level 2 standard. It would be nice if Dainese release the exact amount of Force (in kg) that it transfer.
What I can do is review it's comfort. 1st off, it doesn't fit all Dainese Jackets! I have a Air 2 and a Delmar. It fits my Air 2 but not my Delmar. That was disappointing. Now I have to get a separate one for my Delmar. Next, this protector is very stiff. Its a one piece construction. Out of the box, the thing is flat and stiff. It doesn't conform to your back when you are hunched over your bike. What I did was to bend the back protector by hand to give it a more curved shaped. It does hold the curve form. After that, it was much more comfortable. I would recommend spending the extra money and getting the Wave G or Shield Air G.

This version seems to be less flexible when inserted in your jacket. It's harder to bend forward due to the lack of a "hinged" design (ala armadillo) the old ones had...feels like you've put first base in your jacket.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Answer: 
At it's tallest point 17.5" high, At the shoulder blades its 8.5", the widest portion (about mid spine) is 10.5" wide, the very bottom where it sits against the bottom of the pocket is 6.5". The edge of the protector has a semi rigid flap of 1/4" to 1/3" on each side that can be left how it is or kind of folded in if its a tight fit wherever you are trying to put it so you have about 1/2" to 2/3" leeway if its a REALLY tight fit in your jacket

What makes the Wave or Wave Air better? Also, customer comments say it is stiff and inflexible but the product description says it is articulated and flexible, can you comment.

Answer: 
I'm not positive on the Level 2... I don't THINK this one is but could be wrong (just wanted to address it since it was part of your question) but just believe its regular CE...

Wave's have more articulating joints and are more flexible and a completely different design... are they better? Wave's are probably slightly better in SPINE protection, however personally I think this one is better at overall BACK protection since it covers more back area...

As far as flexible: the wave is definitely more flexible... this does have some "slits" to help it flex but its still fairly stiff as it comes... you can likely loosen it up by flexing it a bunch by hand to "break it in" but I can't comment as to how that affects the structural integrity/safety of it...

Answer: 
i ll have to go with rider preference, all gear will feel a bit different from rider to rider,both give a certain level of protection.wave air is said to be a bit more comfort. all gear will break in with use ,some quicker than others...you must remember, its saftey protection, even the most expensive gear dont feel like a Posturepedic Mattress!
