Back protector sizing

Post by Nelso »

I'm after a back-protector and checking out the Dainese Wave but curious as to what size you wear and how big you are. Looking particularly at folks around the 6 foot mark and built for comfort not speed. Dave #3, Blur? Any others?

Cheers,

Rob

I've got a Dianese Wave 2 in size L and I'd confidently recommend it to anybody. Fantastic piece of equipment, and something I'd never ride without again.

I've got a UFO - large. Its comfy.......have added a bit of extra velcro though..... ;) - only use it when racing/track days, or a long road trip.

If you have no fear, you're not going fast enough.
Never argue with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level, then beat you with experience.
