    Alpinestars internal back protector

    guys Alpinestars comes with a shitty foam pad in their jackets for their back protector.
    they have an insert available but it feels like a stiff piece of cardboard and really uncomfortable.
    I ride a 44/54 size jacket so this is a modeium size insert from Astars.
    the problem I have ahd is trying to find and insert that fits in the jacket.

    I have found that the dainese air sheild g2 fits perfectly

    Those Foam pads are not back protectors they offer the protection of a cheese sandwich, You need a proper after market one and there are a few brands available, anything without a CE approval is not the ideal either.
    and the Coccyx is essential to cover, if it is going to fit in your jacket it would be a start but unless it hangs out the bottom it isnt really full back protection.
    Ive run out of fucks to give

    Can you fit that on an Alpinestars jacket?

    there are two types of dainese inserts

    you need the shield air g2 to fit properly
    they do have some other models but they are too small
    do a search on shield air g2 then you will see what they look like
    it is the same size as the Alpinestars bionic in jacket protector ie piece of cardboard

    Don't know where I got the idea that Alpinestar's are much wider than Dainesse's. A small protector in a wider pocket would move and be quite unconfortable to wear.
