Knox Fast Back Gilet Back Protector

Unlike their other products, Knox's Fast Back Gilet does not have a spine protection ridge and offers none of the advantages of a back protector. Instead this handy bit of clothing wins its CE Level 2 protection mark for tear abrasion. If you're unfortunate enough to suffer a fall the Fast Back Gilet will save your skin from being ravaged by the cold hard and unforgiving floor.

If you just need some simple protection to wear under a designer jacket this product is superb. The zip allows you to whip it on or off without having to strap or tie yourself in and it kinda looks pretty cool as well. Sure, you can spend more for a better spine protector but they can be fairly bulky. Just remember any protection is better than none and the Fast Back does its job well.

Sizes Available: Small, Medium, Large, XLarge & XXLarge.

Fast Back Gilet Protector Features:

• Fully CE approved to EN1621-2 Level 2
• Designed to fit under even a short jacket
• Made from strong lightweight sports mesh, designed to keep the wearer cool
• Back protector has raised channels and vents for breathability

Knox Fast Back Gilet Our Rating

Fantastic price for a good piece of kit. The Fast Back Gilet is perfect for those looking for discreet upper body protection without shouting out that you're wearing motorcycle body armour.
