Bought to replace the stock foam in the Cayenne Pro. The fit is very good in the pocket. I was worried about comfort and that it would change the fit of the jacket. Neither has been an issue. Definitely makes me feel more secure having the heavier duty protection on my back.

Yes, I recommend this product.

The sas-tec backpad is comfortable on the bike. Not really had cause for practical application, but I believe the added protection value is worth every penny.

I bought this instead of the CE protector for my Joe Rocket jacket, as it looked like it would provide even better protection on impact than the factory J.R. product (and was quite a bit cheaper). With a little very easy trimming it fit the back protector pouch in the J. R. jacket, and is quite comfy. Hopefully I won't have to find out too soon how well it works!

Yes, I recommend this product.

SAS-TEC Back Protector
Size - SC 1/12

I'm a year around commuter and wanted to get some more protection for my back. I'm 5'11'' tall, weigh 175, and wear a large jacket for most brands. I have two Scorpion jackets (summer mesh and winter). Both came with CE armor in the elbows and shoulders but only P.E. foam padding in the back.

I took both foam pads and put them in the summer jacket, cut the SAS-TEC pad and placed it in the Fall/Winter/Spring jacket. After only a few days I was accustomed to the added weight and stiffness and now don't notice it. Surprising how the pad becomes more flexible as your body heats it up.

Call Revzilla to help you with the proper size if you wish (I did). Watch the video on how to cut the pad to match your jacket, I used chalk to mark the pad before cutting, and I used a super sharp long kitchen slicing knife (smooth edge not serrated) in place of a box cutter as shown in the video. And go for it, once you make the first cut you will see how easy it is.

Conclusion

Fantastic replacement back pad, really inspires a new level of confidence in your jacket. Worth every penny. I have not gone down in it yet and am going to do my best never to test it. But just in case . . .

Again Revzilla customer service is king.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Bought this to put into my daily jacket. Just trimmed it with some scissors and got a custom fit. Its actually much lighter than I expected. I though it would be a heavy thick rubber but its actually very light yet very durable and extremely resistant to impact.

This back protector is super comfy, light, and can be trimmed. I bought it for my Dainese jacket. It was slightly longer than my jacket's opening...nothing that a safety razor couldn't fix.

Answer:

Take the current back protector out of your jacket and match it up to the SAS Tec protector. Mark where you need to trim. With sissors or knife trim the new protector to fit. That's what I did for my Sand jacket.

Answer:

from what i can tell from the suit you are going to have to cut the sas-tec in order to fit because of it shape. for the size i would suggest going with the SC-1/16. its the biggest one. i say the biggest one because its hard for me to tell how big of a pocket you have in your suit. this will also give you some extra material to cut. i went a size up from what was recommended and found it made cutting the sas-tec to size very easy. use whatever protector came with the suit as a template and just use a utility knife to cut. do not try to eyeball the cutting of the sas-tec. use what you have to make sure you get the right fit. hope this helps.

Answer:

The Victory suit back protector pocket was designed to accommodate the Knox TP2 back protector, although most people who use the suit for the track wear a separate back protector. The SaS-Tec 1/12 size will fit in the back protector after some modification. You will need to trim off the notch that extends up the neck in order to make it fit.

Answer:

I would definitely suggest going with the sas-tec as the upgrade. now with that being said you will probably have to cut the sas-tec to fit in the pocket. but don't worry its very easy to do and will not degrade the ability of the protection in anyway. there is a size chart for the sas-tec. i went a size bigger which gave me enough material to make sure i could cut to size. i must enforce that you use what ever protection came with your jacket as a template to cut the sas-tec so you can make sure you get the right size. take your time and make adjustments to the sas-tec as needed. please do not try to eyeball it for you may cut too much off and you will not be able to exchange it.

Answer:

I'm not familiar with the Air Force jacket but I have their Ignition jacket and I assume the back pocket is the same (Knox shape). If so you'll be able to use the SAS-TEC pad and trim it down. Just use the basic pad from your jacket as a template.

Answer:

Measure the foam back pad that came with your jacket. Pick the size below that is the closest match. Keep in mind how differences in shape might have on what size you need.

1/11 - 400/280/19 mm
1/12 - 490/330/19 mm

Answer:

Yes you can upgrade to SAS - Tec. I have a few RevIt jackets - Turbine, Ignition and Siren and have put a SAS-Tec back protector in all of them. Extreamly comfortable and I beleive the safest most protective option available for a back pad jacket insert. I think safest setup is a standalone back protector like Forcefield Sub Pro 4, bug since that is not always desirable or convenient, the SAS-Tec is by far a top choice. I had to trim the SAS-Tec with an Xacto knife for one of my jackets but it does not affect or diminish the safety / impact absorption properties of the pad. This was confirmed by the company. I just traced with a marker the orignal flimsy foam pad that came in the jackets and then trimmed where necessary to make it fit. It is a very worthwhile upgrade - the Re'It line is great quality and putting the CE Level 2 SAS-Rec in the back pad pocket is icing on the cake.

Sizing on the SAS-TEC Backprotector

Kahlil

Age: 25-34

Hi,

I'd like to order the SAS-TEC back protector and trim it fit my Icon Accelerant Jacket. I understand that cutting the piece voids my warranty on the product, but anything is better than the foam piece that is currently in my jacket; unfortunately, Icon's own Stryker Back Protector does not fit inside my accelerant jacket.

Can you please let me know how the sizing works with the SAS-TEC, the sizing choices are: 1/11, 1/12 and 1/16. Which is the largest of the three? I'd like to order the largest one to make sure I get the largest piece and trim off the excess.

Looking forward to hearing from someone soon.

Answer:

Kahlil,

All I can give you for advice is my opinion. For the past thirty years I have worked in Law Enforcement, and wish I could forget some of the accident scenes I have been to.

I am not familiar with your jacket or how much, or what type of protection it provides I am sure it is probably is a good product, but one thing I can say is that I personally want "EVERY INCH or CENTIMETER" of protection on that I will still be able to wear comfortably.

The reason I say comfortably is because I know that if it is not comfortable, or at least tolerable people tend "NOT" to wear it even if they have it. (bullet proof vest are no different).

That being said, personally I would not recommend cutting anything off the SAS-TEC Back Protector. I had originally bought a different jacket than I have now and I was in the same situation. So after thinking of all the ways I could customize the jacket itself or cut the protector i finally decided to go ahead and get the jacket it was actually designed for. Yeah, it meant giving up more bucks, but I can honestly say I think it is worth it.

I hope I will never have to put the protective products I wear to the test, but I am glad we have them available to wear.

Good luck with your decision, and Ride Safe.

Answer:

The Sas-Tec Back Protector is offered in several sizes based on the jacket size that you need, however, considering that you are planning to alter it, the largest size is the SC-1/16. That should allow you the most amount of room to play with as you trim the protector.
