Well Thought out Back Protection but not for me.
I ordered this back protector in the G2 size for the Dainese Air Flux Jacket in size 52 since most Dainese stuff doesn't come with a back protector. Unfortunately the jacket and this back protector just weren't meant to be. Even though the sizing says that a G2 is the proper fit for that jacket, it was such a tight fit that I thought the zipper was going to come unstitched.
But I digress. This is actually a very nice back protector. If you hold the Shield AIr up to a light you can see right through this thing meaning that it is going to have much better airflow than a foam pad you get in most jackets. Then there is the armadillo-like plastic panels on the outside to ensure that it conforms to your shape even if in a tuck. Another great feature of the panels is that they overlap each other so that nothing can get in between them. The foam built into protector is sufficient enough to cushion you, at least modestly, from the plastic itself should you take a fall.
On the other hand, this thing is pretty sizable which has its ups and downs though. On the plus side, it covers a large portion of your back, but on the minus side, it's pretty thick: roughly 2".
I would say that if you have a Dainese jacket that would fit the Shield Air, I would definitely go for it but remember that due to its thickness, it's going to take up quite a bit of room in your jacket. You may have to go one size up if your jacket is snug. I haven't seen protection that was as well thought out as the Shield Air and that is why I believe that it should be a serious contender for anyone looking for back protection for their Dainese jackets.

Pretty big, inspires secure feeling...
Tight fit in my Dianese air flux jacket. Keeps inner fabric tight which keeps the shield off my back and improves air flow.
Seems big and bulky in the light jacket, but I like the feeling of excellent protection... That's why I bought it, right?

High recommended but a jacket back protector upgrade
Great flexibility. Does make you jack feel a little more snug but not much of a big difference. Very comfortable. Don.t even realize it's there anymore. This is a great upgrade from those weak foam pieces that come with jackets.

Untested for impact, but fits the jacket fine
I hope I never know how good or bad it is, but it seems to be well built and fits the Dainese jacket just fine. It's not heavy like the high density foam protectors, and it doesn't seem to be a sloppy fit (it is made for the Dainese jackets, afterall). Not much choice if you have a Dainese jacket!

Wow, that was FAST!!!
I ordered my first ever back protector - the Dainese Air G Level 2- and it is simply a sexy piece of rider tech. Big props to Revzilla for their shipping policies and practices. Again, this is I would have never expected to recieve anything to a US Army (Germany) APO, AE address so quickly. Six days from online order to mailbox is very impressive. I was a little nervous when it arrive though. The box was split and mangled enough to spark off PTSD. Ha Ha, Ha! However, Revzilla's packing was outstanding and my new safety toy was in perfect condition.
The Shield Air G Level 2 fit my new Dainese Frazer jacket (58) perfectly. A little snug getting sliding in on first try, but no issues once in half way. Unobtrusive, flexible and breathes well.

Good protection
i was afraid it wont fit my 2 dianese jackets but i was wrong...just the right size G2
February 2, 2013
As described!
Barely fit inside my jacket, which i believe is a dianese nero 56 leather, needed the larger protector since i'm 6"10" (the tallest rider in my area) but overall love the protection it has to offer and doesn't compromise the overall comfortability of my jacket. Makes me feel safer while riding incase the unexpected comes along and causes the worst case scenario ...
Like it overall, didnt slide into the jacket easily, but thats probably better that its a snug fit! Would recommend to other riders!!!! pricey, but i really can't complain about protection...you pay for what you get, and i put 100% trust in dianese

Major protection, but you should plan to size up
The Shield Air is probably the most protective back protector I've seen any jacket manufacturer make available as an insert. Normally, you'd expect this level of protection only from stand-alone armor like pros would wear under a race suit.
My only problem is that it affects the fit of your jacket by maybe ½ size (i.e. a size 50 jacket will fit like a size 49, or perhaps 48.5). The actual back protector is 1.5-2” thick (measured), and the thickest part of it is comparatively pretty big. That’s good for protection, but since these jackets are made to fit by the circumference of your chest, obviously that’s going to affect the fit. I would size up one size. If you've already bought a jacket and it's already pretty snug on your chest, I'd suggest getting the Forcefield back protector instead of this, since it's thinner and won’t alter the fit of your jacket, but it still offers a lot of protection.
4/5 rating for Protection/Durability because while it's really protective, the hard plastic design is meant to crumple in a crash, so it won't be durable after your first crash.
3/5 for comfort because it's really not really that comfortable compared to other back protectors I’ve used. I'm very conscious that I've got a two-inch-thick plastic board covering my back (granted, it is a little flexible), so I find I'm more tempted to take it out for casual riding - probably the opposite of what I should be doing from a safety standpoint. If comfort is a big issue for you, I'd again recommend the Forcefield back protector instead.
I have a size 52 Dainese R-Twin jacket and size 50 Dainese Cage Pelle jacket. I consider myself a size 50 in Dainese and other brands' jackets. The 52 R-Twin is a little long in the sleeves without the thermal liner (I bought it big so I could layer fleece underneath), but with the Shield Air back protector, it becomes a perfect fit, thermal liner in or out. The 50 Cage Pelle, on the other hand, is just too tight on me with the Shield Air back protector in it, so I use the Forcefield one, and it fits fine.

Answer:
The Shield Air should be compatible with the Super Speed Textile Jacket even in a G2 size. I just bought this jacket in a size 52 but am going the Forcefield route instead (Medium, G2). I originally bought the Air Flux jacket in the same size with the G2 Shield Air back protector, but returned both since the jacket was just a hair too tight to accept it. I did, however, take measurements of the back protector and compared it to my Super Speed Textile jacket and it would have worked perfectly.Two words of caution though:
1) The Jacket has two pockets for backprotectors. One for the G1 and one for the G2 to make sure that your protector isn't loosely fitted and moving around on you when riding.
2) If the jacket size you order is snug, you will want to move up a size since the Shield Air is pretty thick (i.e. - ~2")

Answers
Answer:
The Forcefield BackPad Insert Pro for Dainese is considered to be the best option seeing as it is CE Level 2 certified and is capable of absorbing multiple impacts. The Shield Air G and Wave G are what we consider to be "One & Done," back protectors. By this I mean, once the back protector absorbs a certain amount of energy (usually one crash or major impact) it is no longer usable as it will not function properly. That being said, the Back Pad Insert is your best option, followed by the Air G, and lastly the Wave G, which is CE Level 1.2 months, 2 weeks ago

Answers
Answer:
Yes, this will fit but may fit better if inserted upside down due to the shape of the pocket in your jacket. If you are looking for level 2 protection for a REV'IT! Tornado, then you may want to consider the Forcefield BackPad Insert Pro in Type "B," Size "SM" as it is a direct fit to the pocket and will provide more coverage. Also, trimming a SAS-TEC in size 1/12 is always an option.

The Dainese Shield Air G Level 2 Back Protector (size G2) was not made for your Alpinestars MX-1 Leather Jacket but should still fit. Your jacket was originally designed to accept the Alpinestars RC Back Protector but can also accept the Alpinestars Bio Armor Back Protector.
