Beemer Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I received some new gear the other day. A back protector to replace the solid foam protector that came with the jacket. The original would probably do good job of cushioning the impact in a spill but it doesn't breath, makes my back all sweaty. If you have one like that that I highly recommend this one by Alpinestars because it's light weight, should absorb impacts well and best of all … it allows air to get to your back and keep you cooler and drier. It fits most jackets also in case you were wondering. I wanted some decent (mild) winter gloves made of leather that had sliders on the palms and found these for very little. They provide decent protection and a little warmth. I needed some new night glasses to cut down on glare from headlights and provide some eye protection for when I lift my face shield while moving and these looked pretty good. They fit nicely, don't feel or look cheap and should do the job nicely. https://www.amazon.com/Nucleon-KR-Celli-Motorcycle-Protector-Transparent/dp/B07FR3MSZQ/ref=sr_1_15?crid=33D1JEP5LMHSU&keywords=alpinestars+back+protector&qid=1571152421&sprefix=back+protectors+by+alpinestars%2Caps%2C195&sr=8-15 https://www.amazon.com/Premium-Leather-Motorcycle-Cruising-Sliders/dp/B01N1FYQVR/ref=sr_1_29?crid=3N73TE3VLN8S1&keywords=leather+motorcycle+gloves+men&qid=1571152623&sprefix=leather+motorcycle+gloves%2Caps%2C177&sr=8-29 https://www.amazon.com/aisswzber-Polarized-Sunglasses-Driving-Protection/dp/B07LF5V6K9/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=AISSWZBER+Mens+Sports+Polarized+Sunglasses+Driving+Metal+Frame+UV+Protection+Sunglasses+For+Men+8177&psc=1&qid=1571153031&sr=8-4 I comment on them at a later date to and give a rating. 1 Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took a ride on Wednesday with @DewMan and the back protector was a plus. Of course you don't get a lot of air hitting the back in the first place but I can honestly say that with the gobs of venting it did feel like the hot air that normally builds up underneath a foam protector was non existent and I could barely tell it was there either, it's so light. I feel confident it will absorb any impact and hold up much better in a slide than regular dense foam also. I can't comment on the gloves, I didn't wear them because it wasn't quite cold enough but the temps are dropping now so maybe the next ride.
