SAS-TEC Back Protector

Cutting edge SAS-TEC material is intelligent armor constructed from visco elastic soft foam smart molecules. It has earned the highest CE rating available (CE level 2), during an impact, the armor freezes and hardens, absorbing the shock and distributing its force over a large area to reduce the risk of fractures. The protector is not destroyed by impact, but reverts back to its original state and maintains its capability to protect from multiple impacts.

SAS-TEC Armor has a soft and pliable exterior (as opposed to rigid KNOX armor) which offers a great deal of comfort and mobility. This protector is anatomically designed and fitted to provide superior spine and back protection as well as the base of the neck /between the shoulder blades.

SC-1/11 fits Women's Turbine Jacket
SC-1/12 fits REV'IT! Cayenne Pro Jacket and Turbine Jacket
REV'IT Gore-Tex Jackets have different shaped back protector pockets depending on the size of jacket, see the size chart for fitment information
SC-1/16 should only be used for XYL or larger Gore-Tex Jackets

SAS-TEC Back Protector 4.7 5 148 148

Very nice product I've worn this for a few months. It's like wearing an ironing board most of the time, until it warms up, then it flexes nicely. Sometimes the heat can be from my back, other times from a strong sun. Most people never notice it's there until they pat me on the back and remember I travel by motorcycle. I feel very safe wearing this. May 21, 2013

Fits well in different jackets I have the women's Alpinestarts Stella Sigma Drystar Jacket, and this protector fits great without trimming any edges. May 13, 2013

Protector molded to the shape of my back very quickly. Comfortable and provides good area of protection. I would recommend this product. I'm buying a second one for another jacket. May 13, 2013

Seems like a great back protector with a CE level 2 rating I thought I'd give this protector a shot. I managed to fit the small size into my older moto gp jacket; due to the pocket design this involved a lot of bending and flexing which gave me a sense of the material. It seems like a slab of rubber but when you start to mold it it really flexes - when finally in place it assumed its original shape and firmness. There's science at work here and I like it. When riding I forget it's there but I'm happy it is. April 12, 2013

Recommended Minor modification to fit in jacket pocket, very easy to accomplish. Sas-Tec molds to the body shape in slow motion, comfortable. March 27, 2013

The best protection you can buy! I bought this to fit my Scott Dual Raid TP jacket. The size 1/12 fits the pocket well. There's a little extra room in the jacket pocket, but I'm not sure if the 1/16 (as specified by the tag in the jacket) would fit this jacket. It's very thick for a back pad and does affect the fit of the jacket a bit, but the extra protection is totally worth it. Having said that about the thickness, I never noticed it on my first ride with the jacket. Not once did I find myself focusing on the fit of the jacket or the thickness of the back pad. I'm hoping I never have to test it, but I feel more confident knowing I have the best armor on the market. March 11, 2013

Fits the Dainese Alien jacket.... Purchased this to replace my Dainese N-Frame back protector which felt like shoving a miniature ironing board in my jacket. Only took a little bit of trimming down of the back protector for it to fit perfectly. It fits snug up against my back and is much more comfortable. Definitely doesn't allow much air to flow through the pad at all so it counteracts a lot of the benefits of the Dainese's air bubble liner unfortunately but given the low price for a CE-II back protector, it's a small price to pay. February 13, 2013

Rugged Armor Puchased this to insert into my Cheyenne Pro jacket. Have yet to use (PMS - Parked Motorcycle Syndrome) here in western PA during January. Appears to be very rugged and functional. I did put the foam that came with the jacket against my back in hopes of better air-flow. January 21, 2013

Answer:

Any jacket that normally takes the Dainese Wave can be fitted with the SAS-TEC 1/12 with some simple modifications. Make a template for the back protector pocket on your jacket and *trim the SAS-TEC as needed.

This can be done very easily, however there are 2 caveats:

1. You void the warranty on the back protector
2. If you are in a prolonged downpour, since the internal foam is now exposed on the SAS-TEC it is possible it could absorb water. Make sure to air-dry it if you suspect it has had a good soak.

*Per the manufacturer, cutting the back protector will not change its protective qualities."

Answer:

The shape of the back protector inside the current 2012 Kilimanjaro resembles the Knox TP2 or the Viper D30 insert. Thus, you can use a SAS-TEC 1/12 with some simple modifications. Simply remove the temper foam back pad which came with your jacket and use it as a template to *trim as needed. This can be done very easily, however there are 2 caveats:

You void the warranty on the back protector
If you are in a prolonged downpour, since the internal foam is now exposed on the SAS-TEC it is possible it could absorb water. Make sure to air-dry it if you suspect it has had a good soak.
*Per the manufacturer, cutting the back protector will not change its protective qualities.

Answer:

The SC-1/12 will fit, but must be trimmed to size. The Killimanjaro uses as unique, proprietary shape and size. As a result there is no direct option, but the Sas-Tec pads may be trimmed. I used the insert that came with my Killimanjaro as a patter for trimming.

Answer:

The SAS-TEC Back Protector, Dainese Paraschiena Wave w/ Scapula Protection, and Tryonic Feel 3.7 Back Protector will all offer the same level of protection as they are all CE Level 2 certified. However, the SAS-TEC will not offer as much overall coverage when compared to the Paraschiena or the Tryonic Feel 3.7. Both the Paraschiena and the Feel 3.7 are quite a bit longer and cover more surface area. The one advantage that the SAS-TEC has to offer is the fact that it is a multi-impact back protector, whereas the other two are "one and done." One and done means that once the back protector has absorbed a certain amount of energy it is not longer usable and will not function as intended (will not offer the same amount of protection as an unused/undamaged back protector). Other than that, the 3.7 Feel and Paraschiena are both superior.

Answer:

This protector is too big to fit into the Tornado in any size, however, it can be easily cut with an extremely sharp knife or pair of scissors. You can use the existing temporfoam in the jacket as a template your trimming. But take note that this will invalidate any warranty, though it will not comprimise the integrity of the armor.

Answer:

To the best of our knowledge, no. REV'IT! and SAS-TEC, however, will vouch that the protective properties do not change; the only legitimate downsides are loss of surface area, compromised water barrier which could soak the protector in a heavy downpour, and voiding SAS-TEC's warranty.

*Simply remove the temper foam back pad which came with your jacket and use it as a template to *trim as needed. This can be done very easily, however there are 2 caveats:

Answer:

I don't know specifically, but I'd suggest just ordering a larger one than you think you need and cutting to fit. I ordered the small because it was closest to the piece of foam my jacket (not the tarmac) came with, but it was wider in spots and narrower in spots, I trimmed it a little but I might as well just have gotten the larger size and trimmed it to an exact fit.

The SAS-TEC is a uniform material the whole way through, so trimming a little vs. trimming a lot doesn't really make a difference.

How To Measure REV'IT! Jacket Size

How To Measure REV'IT! Pants Size

SIZING INSTRUCTIONS

We highly recommend finding a cloth tape measure and taking the time to take these measurements. REV'IT! sizes will not necessarily correlate with fitment in other brands.

Chestwidth: Measure from under/top of armpit cross chest to under/top of other armpit, then across back to first armpit
Waist: Measure at the hourglass of your torso, (circumference measured at your belly button)
Hips: pelvic bone to pelvic bone, the widest part of your hips below the waist
Inseam: from crotch to big ankle bone
Outseam: from waist to big ankle bone

SAS-TEC Back Protector Jacket Fitment

Size	Cayenne Pro	Legacy GTX	Defender GTX	Everest GTX
XS	N/A	SC-1/12	N/A	N/A
SM	SC-1/12	SC-1/12	SC-1/11	SC-1/11
MD	SC-1/12	SC-1/12	SC-1/11	SC-1/11
LG	SC-1/12	SC-1/12	SC-1/12	SC-1/12
XL	SC-1/12	SC-1/12	SC-1/12	SC-1/12
2XL	SC-1/12	SC-1/12	SC-1/12	SC-1/12
3XL	SC-1/12	SC-1/12	SC-1/16	SC-1/16
4XL	N/A	SC-1/12	N/A	N/A

The REV'IT Turbine Jacket takes the SC-1/12 SAS-TEC for all sizes (for both men's and women's). Other REV'IT Jackets not listed will take the Knox TP2 as a "bolt in" accessory.

Alternatively the SAS-TEC SC-1/12 can be trimmed to fit. This will void the SAS-TEC warranty and expose the cell structure to water saturation but this is a common practice and has not been an issue for RevZilla customers in to date.

Sizing information is provided by the manufacturer and does not guarantee a perfect fit.
