Don't be cheap when it comes to a back protector.

I use the Knox Contour.

Besides this one, there are only a handful of other BP's I'd even consider.

Inferno is selling one here:

Correct. I had a pair of the Oxtar's and for the $$ I was happy with them.

I like TCX (formerly known as Oxstar) boots. I have two pairs: one for touring and one for sport riding (not quite as racy). They do tend to run on the wide side though, so try on before buying.

Yea, mine retailed for just under $200. It's a couple year old model but I'm not that worried about it. besides, it better than the foam that comes in the jackets.

Was going to head to STG to pick these up (they have them on for 189.99) but a local place had a crazy sale so I ended up getting them for $200 Canadian. :woot:

Overall the quality seems great. Just need to get used to riding in them for my first track day this season.
