Three reasons to consider a back protector for motocross

A back protector is an often overlooked piece of protective gear in the moto world, but there are three reasons you should consider one for dirt bike riding.

Increased protection: The obvious reason to consider a back protector is for increased impact protection for your back. Most body armours and chest protectors have basic back protection, however nothing that is specifically designed to protect the back. This is where an off-road back protector comes in, as they're purposely constructed for back protection and often hold the highest safety certifications, such as CE.

Improved support: If you've encountered a back injury, or battle ongoing back problems, you may find the improved support of wearing a back protector may just help you on the motocross bike. Back protectors can offer support from the lower to upper back, and the majority have a kidney belt built in, meaning you'll have even more lower back support.

Added peace of mind: The third and final reason to consider a back protector for dirt bike riding is the added peace of mind they provide. We're big advocates of wearing safety gear, and a back protector is one that can really help prevent or reduce the seriousness of an injury in the event of a crash. The added peace of mind will mean you can focus on your riding while knowing you're adequately protected.
