Well worth the price
This product fits perfectly in my shift Diablo jacket, L. I can hardly notice it's there. Although not crash tested it feels well made and sturdy. This product is well worth the price and anything is better then the original foam back protector.

Very Pleased
Done about a month with this in my Chrono Jacket. Covers a good portion of my back with out making me look like a hunch back off the bike. The only time I notice I have it in the jacket is when sitting in a chair with a back, but that's a non issue. Been in the 30-80 degree range, wet and dry and I haven't had any issue with it being to hot or uncomfortable.

Product delivers what it proposes.
It is a good addition to your Dainese jacket that has no protection column. But you have to be aware that there is a total protection as in a full jumpsuit. But I recommend.

Upgrade from factory Dainese back protector
I purchased the Wave G Back Protector to put inside my Dainese Shotgun (Size 50). I find the placement and size of the Wave to be adequate for the jacket size and the shape of my back. At first I could tell that it was there when riding but now it just feels like part of the jacket. There are certainly better options for protection but this simple upgrade is light years better than the nonexistent stock protector.
Keep in mind that if your jacket is tight fitting the added bulk of the Wave may not work well. I purchased the Shotgun with the intent of putting a protector inside so it fills out well.

Good protection, good airflow
Typical nice Dainese quality, the only bad thing I can say about this is its difficult to keep it positioned properly all the time. That's more the fault of the back pocket in the jacket rather than the protector however. I'm 6'2" and it (G2) feels a little small for me, but its not really intended to be a real back protector like the Alpinestars Race item that I wear at the track. It is better than nothing or the foam pad that comes with most jackets, and worlds better than the board-like alpinestars RC I used to have. Good airflow too, even in a non-perforated jacket (Dainese Avro) like mine.

Good for street riding and commuting
I use this back protector in my Ducati Corse and Dainese Avro jackets. It does not cover the entire back like other protectors. It is very lightweight and you wont even feel it in the jacket. The air flow is good with this protector. For more aggressive riding such as canyons, backroads, and track, I wear the Forcefield PK L2. The Dainese Wave is a good option for street and commuting.

Get something else!
This is probably the only bad review of this item here at Revzilla, but, I've actually crashed in it.
I had this back protector in my Dainese Rebel jacket when I had a 50 mph lowside. I fell and slid across the opposing lane while tumbling at least 3 times. I suppose it did its job (I can always assume it could've been worse) as I was able to get back on my feet, and did not suffer any major issue, but boy, did my back ache.
I believe the problem is with the general shape of the product. It is shaped like an undersized turtle shell. I'm 5'10, and the size of the g2 only covers a minimal area of your back. My back was bruised specially with the outline of the back protector. Another issue I have with it, is that it is a hard back protector. There's no soft cushioning layer on it and the energy absorption is based on "crumple-zone" technology. This is not a bad thing but soft cushioning should've been incorprated. Also, since it uses crumple zones, it's rendered useless after a crash. It's also only rated "level 1."
I believe there are better alternatives for back protectors here at Revzilla which offer better ergonomics and crash absorption technology at a reasonable cost (I think Forcefield offers a better value proposition). I'm a big Dainese guy, and after this experience, have put other Dainese products to the test. Unofrtunately, I'm gonna cross back to other brands with back protectors...

Answer:
It's up to you! The Shield Air is CE Level 2, so it's more protective. It's also thicker and more bulky (I look like a turtle when I wear it). The Wave G is thinner, less protective, and still looks kinda funky on your back. They're both great products, they just look a little funny. I myself ride with the Forcefield BackPad Insert Pro for Dainese. It's CE Level 2, comfortable, much thinner, and more ergonomic.

I recently bought a Dainese Greyhound Leather Jacket size 48 and want to add some back protection. The review video suggests a G2 for size 50 and above, should I follow the Revzilla review advice and buy a G1, or follow the gender guideline(I'm male) and buy a G2?

The Dainese Wave G Back Protector G1 is made to fit all Women's Dainese jackets, and the G2 will fit all Men's Dainese jackets. This should make it fairly easy to decide, and for you, we would recommend going with the G2!1 month, 2 weeks ago

I think you should follow the recommendation of revizilla and buy the G1, my jacket is 54 and G2 was right. I believe the G1 be right in 48.Age: 35-44

The G1 measures 16" x 10.5" and the G2 is 17.5" x 10.5" (10.5" is the width at the widest part). Both are about 1" thick, but they have slight conical shape, so that isn't the most reliable measurement.1 month, 3 weeks ago

Answers
Answer:
The Dainese Wave G Back Protector will work with the Dainese Air-Flux Textile Jacket. All Dainese jackets will accept either the Wave G Back Protector, or the Shield Air G Level 2 Back Protector. Although the Wave is nice, the Shield Air G will offer much greater protection, since it is carrying a CE Level 2 Certification, as opposed to the Wave's Level 1. CE Level 2 Back Protectors are designed to allow no more than 9 kN through to the wearer in the standards test. This value is half the energy allowed by the CE level 1 Armor, at 18 kN. We feel CE Level 2 Back Protectors are the way to go, if you are not a fan of spine modifications.2 months, 3 weeks ago

I'm assuming the difference between g1 and g2 are protection standards for track riders.

Your Dainese New Delmar Leather Jacket in a size 44 will take the Dainese Wave G Back Protector Wave G2.11 months ago
Answer:
I am 6ft, I used to use a Wave G2, and now I use a Shield Air G2 Level 2 in my Alien. Its a snug fit with it in there, but once the jacket breaks in a bit, it will feel great. I recommend always having a back protector in there! If you are shorter, like under 5'5" then maybe the G1 I guess? I would have to look at the manual to see the size recommendation again. But I think the G1 is for much shorter people.Products related to my answer

I'm very new to motorcycle gear and what not. in the video review it's said that this is a "one time use" back protector, I was wondering what that means exactly?
11 months ago
1 FollowerI have this question too
Answers
Answer:
Good question! Basically, what one time use (aka "one and done,") means is that after one major impact the product will not be able to absorb additional energy, thus it will not function properly. Think of a crumple zone in a car. You might also not be able to see the after effect of an impact, however the back protector is no longer usable.11 months ago
Answer:
Similar to a helmet, if you crash, you need to purchase a new one. It has crumple zones that will not return to their original shape. It basically sacrifices itself to protect you.Age: 25-34
