I bought this back protector to go inside my Joe Rocket Atomic 4.0 Jacket. It fits nicely and is not uncomfortable or noticeable while riding. I do wish, however, that it had a hard plastic outer shell like the Dainese Wave G1/G2. I'm not sure if that shell provides and extra layer of protection and I am not planning on finding out, but I feel like it is added peace of mind.
Yes, I recommend this product.

After a friend took a spill on one of our recent rides, I decided to upgrade some of my protective gear. I paid $80 for this product hoping it would be like the hard-armor Alpinestars BioArmor Back Protector that I kept seeing at Cycle Gear. Instead, it's just a thicker, heavier, soft-armor back protector that doesn't seem much different than the Dual Density Spine Protector that came with my Phoenix 5.0 jacket. Both offer protection from contact with the road. However, if your back hits something like a reflector pole, I don't see how either product will help much. My opinion is that the cost doesn't justify the very small increase in protection. I recommend doing some research on motorcycle armor and back protectors before buying anything. Apparently, the majority of spinal injuries are caused by blows to the hip and shoulders, which would limit the usefulness of many of these "back protectors."
No, I do not recommend this product.

I think it is unfortunate that this is not the default back protector that ships with all Joe Rocket jackets in the US, but given that it isn't, this is a worthwhile upgrade for anyone who has purchased a Joe Rocket jacket and wants a higher level of protection.
I have the Phoenix 5.0 jacket. Replacing the pad was easy to do and the new protector fit snugly in the mesh pocket.
The protector is definitely stiffer than the default pad that came with the jacket, so depending on how snug your jacket fits you may or may not notice it (my jacket is pretty snug but I got used to it after a couple of rides).

While I think it is a bit too expensive for what it is, this is an essential upgrade for anyone with a JR jacket. It will definitely provide better protection that the flimsy foam piece fitted, and is a bit more comfortable as well.

Answer: 
I'm not sure what the exact material is and I suspect the details are proprietary to Joe Rocket, however, I do know that it is a honeycomb construction for added protection, while still being flexible for comfort.
