    Knox Aegis Back protector which was the best I could get at the time

    And the previous version of this, the chest protector does seem a bit bulky compared to some others I have seen

    Hell, I use those for my road riding, love them.

    One thing to check is how bulky the chest protector is, vs fitting it under your leathers. Generally back protectors have a tighter fit, but the chest definitely adds some bulk.

    Yeah, I have one of those knox chest protectors too. I bought it due to the fact it wraps a bit - dinged a rib on the side once....but do take a bit of space.

    Big thing is to make sure it meets the the MNZ required standards.....
