Okay, I've got a once piece Spidi with a hump. I also purchased a back protector but it feels really tight so I don't bother wearing it.
What are your thoughts. How many of you wear em?

Aargh, photos!
I wear them. My spine needs as much protection as my skin
To every man upon this earth
Death cometh sooner or late
And how can a man die better
Than facing fearful odds
For the ashes of his fathers
And the temples of his Gods

Yep, wear it most of the time... just not commuting (too difficult to walk around in, and attend classes).
Other than that, its on.

Always unless I'm just commuting, then I just live with the built in one in my jacket.

Well what would you do? Run through the streets stark naked at 350 miles per hour with bells on your toes?

Same here - the Cordura Jacket has a pretty good back protector built in and since my AlpineStars don' have anything I wear a separate back protector.
If its tight wear in the rain and the leather will mould to shape.

Dammit I dont know if I need one now. The Shift jacket I wear (Cordura or similar) has a padded thing at the top...but nothing down the spine...so maybe it IS a good idea to get one. Might see what Quasi's ones are like at Taupo.

Broke my neck and back in 4 places at 50km/hr. If I'd been wearing a back protector I would only have broken my neck.ive been meaning to buy one, but seem i dont have a bike i wont bother
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
Who you gonna call!
Sorry mate confused you broke your neck and if you were not wearing the back protector you would have broken your neck.
I take it you mean you fractured your neck (Like my old man ie the thingys that make you walk where not "broken") doctor do refer to it as a break very lucky one but still a break

Kiwi back at home!
most leathers come with a crappy foam protector in a sleve in the back take this out if it has one and the other protector should fit fine
I wear a spidi airback , a bit pricey but so is a wheel chair!

For long rides I wear a back support/kidney protector jobby, but its not a full back protector as such.. Definitly helps with the lower back pain on long rides thou.

Broke my neck and back in 4 places at 50km/hr. If I'd been wearing a back protector I would only have broken my neck.
My spine was bent back in the direction most of us stop using when we get past about 2 years old. The ends of the vertebrae were compressed causing compression fractures. The back protector would have stopped my back flexing backwards far enough to cause the thoracic spinal injury. The neck one was less severe and it was caused by the impact of the top of my helmet clad head on the tarmac. Straight down like a javelin. It was a non-mobile hairline crack in two cervical vertebrae. Only ruptured one intra-vertebral space, which self corrected over 2 or 3 years. I have a mild touch of thing called throracic outlet syndrome, and I get intense burning pain on the outside of my right arm, muscle weakness and sometimes a fine tremor. Makes it hard to drum at the level I used to. The good thing is my hand is pre-numbed for riding inline fours.
