I bought this back protector because it offers better protection then the slide in pieces that Alpinestars offers. I ordered the large and it covers about 95 percent of my spine (I'm 6'4). I like the waist strap that it comes with and the nice button attachment on the top of the protector. Only thing for me is that I have an Alpinestars mesh jacket and it doesn't come with the strip on the jacket to button it come. I'll just have a seemtress do that for me. No big deal.

This product fits great under my A* trigger leather suit. It's comfortable and allows me to move freely in the suit while being protected, which were my two main criteria. I switched over from one of the Knox full back protectors because my movement on the bike during track days and races with the Knox was too rigid and restricted. Big improvement overall and I'm happy with the purchase. I where a 56 euro suit and ordered the large back protector which fits well. I gave it 4 out of 5 stars because I have not crash tested nor am I planning too.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I bought this to go in a new Alpinestars GP-R jacket. I am 6'0", 170 lbs and purchased a size 54 jacket. I took a guess at the back protector size, an 'M' but it was too small. I re-ordered an 'L' and it is a proper fit. The usual easy no hassle return process was great. Minor complaint, it is frustrating because there is no real size chart for this online (via Alpinestars). However, there is a good sizing chart and formula (measure yourself) IN THE BOX ... not much good when buying online.
The protector is longer than the 'Bionic Back' version that inserts into the jacket pocket providing better protection on the lower spine. It seems (subjective) a little thicker than the 'Bionic Back' (insert type). Because it is longer it is more noticeable when wearing but still comfortable and flexes easily when bending forward, but naturally it is less flexible bending backwards (good thing). As mentioned in another review it usually takes an extra step to get the protector "set" right when putting the jacket on because it hangs from the snap at the collar and can twist/rotate while putting on, but not a big deal. Comfortable good protection, I would buy again.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Only reason I lowered it one notch on Protection cause it flexes well when bending over, but when you try and bend backwards with it, it allows for it, clicking out of of place. Shouldn't really allow for any hyper extension, and I wasn't really pushing that hard. Still it's good to have and way better than nothing.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I ordered the AStars Bionic Back Protector with their Bionic chest protector. Great combination for chest and back protection for all top level AStar Jacket.
Backprotector is well built and provides CE Level 2 for a very low price. I use this in my AStars Tech 1-R jacket and fits very well. Sizing seems to be on point as I use a medium for a Euro 54 jacket, I'm 5'8" and 180lbs and jacket fits very snug with the chest/back protector combo. The way it should fit for the best protection you can get with this gear.
My friends comment that this back protector looks better built then their knox inserts which cost them around $92 for CE level 1, and this is CE level 2 which I believe is the highest CE rating available right now.
I do have 1 complaint about this product, it's a small one, but nonetheless I'll say it. The way it holds onto the jacket is that it snaps onto the liner just below the collar, there's 3 height settings, I use the middle one. Since it's held on by the 1 snap, I find when putting on the jacket the back protector moves around too much and I have to reach back and set it in the proper place.
Not really a big deal, but it does get annoying time to time when putting on and taking off the jacket frequently.
Besides that this is top notch back protector for a very low cost compared to the level of protection this will provide.
Alpinestars rocks and So does Revzilla.com since they got this to my door 1 day after I ordered it!!!

Hi. I like your product review videos. I'm about 5' 9" and 170lb. What size should I choose for Alpinestars Bionic Race Back Protector and GP-R leather jacket(red white black)?
Also, Can you please recommend me riding pants? I don't know what to buy. I live in Texas, so I think leather pants would not be a good choice for summer.
