    right way to wear backprotector?

    i got me a back protector a awhile ago.
    probably a dumb question but is there a right or wrong way to wear it?
    ive tried it straight on my skin and over a light singlet.
    i prefer over the singlet but if i have a spill will it move if its on my singlet?

    I wear mine over a light tshirt in a vain effort to reduce the smell of my leathers.

    Mine has a waist band that I do up rather tight and it aint moving no where.

    I usually wear mine on my head. Makes me look like a Klingon but. Ka Plah!
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    wouldn't go wearing it against your skin. you'll sweat like a bastard to start with but if it DOES move in an accident, I can only imagine the seams would have a go at opening up your skin. always wear mine over my shirt, nice and comfy and I don't need to wash it after a hot ride!

    Has anyone else seen the Dianese high end models. They're built into a vest. You can see it here . Nice if you can afford it. Then there's this one for the winter. Mmmmmm

    Well I don't have a need for any form of back protection as I am a spineless bastard with no moral fibre.
