    Back Protector

    interesting thing, I don't believe there is an industry standard comprable to say, helmets. look for a brand that has their testing info available. i lucked out and picked up a set of rhino armor for cheap cash. but i've heard nothing but good things about bohn. good luck! and welcome to the board

    Back Protector

    I use the Bohn now.

    I used to have a great full-upper-body protector which was better (Rhino-Armor), but restricted me slightly movement-wise at flat out race speeds and so was not the best for racing.
