Do you ride with a back brace

[Quasievil]

I always wear one for all the above reason, back bones and roads dont mix, I dont want to gring my backbone to nothin!!
another awesome benifit not mentioned above is in the winter they keep your back nice and warm

There's one in the back of my jacket, better'n nothing, but I plan to get one to fit in the pocket provided for the purpose, or else a strap-on one.

Now that my wife's seen them being worn by TS and co, I think she wouldn't object to us buying them, plus some elbow, shoulder, and knee armour for her (her leathers have only foam).

I wear mine all the time. It saved me from a sore back more than once

In bed, in the shower. In fact any time a bad back could occur

How many riders ride with a back brace. I bought one just before Christmas. Found it not only safer in the event of a bin but the brace supported my back and I did not tire so easily as when riding without it.

Mine is part of my spyke jacket and it does make for a improved ride. However I probably would not bother if I did not have the jacket.

if you mean a back protector, that slips into your jacket -then yep, if you mean a back protector that straps onto the body, like a corrset, then nope.

I use mine if i'm going for a ride, but if i'm just heading into town then i wont.

I used to think the one in my jacket was good enough, but get some one to hit you in the back the a sledge hammer and see if you think it'll help you when you hit a post at 100kmh??

hmm you'll not likely be around in any capacity if you slam into a post at 100kmh!

my textile jacket has integral armour and a back piece of foam.

If I am going to Akaroa for coffee I wear my downhill mtbing body armour under my old leather jacket.

My problem is I desperately need some decent leather pants (or leathers) with proper knee armour and hip and sacrum (sp?) lower back thingy protection.

thats why I will be in Woods tomorrow.... looking for pants.
