Why would anybody wear a back protector AND a backpack?
For that matter, why would anybody even slightly interested in riding safety wear a backpack?

Should I have put a comma after English?
I do this all the time.
I often ride with a small pack with nothing in it, since i am so use to wearing a pack.
Not all of us want a bike which has hard bags, or doesn't want to put a silly pack rack on,
I carry a laptop with my lunch and other misc stuff, every day to work (no back protector), when going to akl for work, i wear back protector, laptop and other misc stuff.
Going for blast, i wear back protector, with a small bag i sometimes put a camera, or garage door opener and house keys, since i only have a small pocket in leathers and this is where my cellphone and wallet go. this backpack sometimes carrys a bottle of drink of some kind (mostly V)
I'd have thought that made sense. They'd wear a back protector because there might be something solid in the backpack...![]()
Depends what's in the backpack. I often carry a shirt and pair of pants to work in a backpack - hardly a high risk affair......Originally Posted by Hitcher
Yep, I wear a backpack with back-protector. Do my trips in that configuration.
Bit of a random thread/question hitch. Care to make a point?

long trips, it would likely wear you out quicker. if i didnt have a top box, id wear one, but dont like the feel of having my arms restricted that much. i usually bungy one onto the seat behind me.
hell... i rode home with two of mums dinner plates shoved down my shirt the other night [they would have chipped in the box] imagine the mess if id come off?? mums plates would have been destroyed!![]()

I'm sort of feeling a bit random, but this has been bothering me for a while.
If one comes off and lands on a backpack (presuming one is wearing one), then some sort of related injury should probably result. Worst case, the thing will act as a fulcrum and, combined with greater head mass from wearing a helmet, one could snap one's neck. Levels of related injury are presumably proportional to the nature of material in the backback.
Wearing a back protector implies, from its very name, a desire to protect one's back. Wearing a backpack presumes that one does not give a stuff about one's back, being more vainly concerned about the appearance of one's bike that one does not wish to fit some "crude" packrack structure to it, thus buggering its sprotsbike aesthetic. Combining the two is a bit like washing one's Dunkin Donut(TM) down with Diet Coke(TM)?

I'm kind of wondering too what is unsafe about wearing a backpack. I'm almost never without one on and always feel that it affords me extra protection. I don't own a back protector - should I?
Fair comment, but I figure a back-protector is going to counter a large proportion of the effect that a backpack is going to have anyway.
Besides, people draw the line at safety features at different points. Some people think that no matter what you do motorcycling is too dangerous fullstop and will drive a cage instead.
