The Pro-Shape back protector by DAINESE is made of expanded nitrile rubber and is a certified, relatively short back protector that fits inside almost every motorcycle jacket.
This type of protective material is thin and light. About a third of the surface is perforated which – just like holes in cheese – has one essential function. It creates a lighter and better ventilated Pro-Shape back protector. The results speak for themselves: increased safety, increased comfort, increased flexibility.
The Pro-Shape back protector is not the first impact protection coming from the DAINESE production halls which is why the anatomic shaping and accurate thickness in the most optimal places, just like the ‘longitudinal extension and flexion’ seem apparent. Which it isn’t, the latter meaning that you can still move your back in its longitudinal axis without on the other hand running the risk of bending like a straw. Always a win, when it comes to backs.
A proper pattern, the right materials, lots of ventilation and a light weight: this is excellent impact protection. Protectors are reusable, even after a crash, and can easily be washed and maintained. In this case, G2 stands for the relatively longer version used in the DAINESE sizing table.
