back-protectors - re-usable after crash?

I have a Dainese internal honeycomb design back protector.

It works on the "compress to absorb impact" principle. In the event of
an impact, I'd most certainly replace it.

My back protector (from Underdog Leathers.. can I say that?) seems to be
more about structural support and abrasion resistance. It doesn't have
styrofoam bits that compress to absorb shock, so I'd say a visual
inspectiopn should tell you whether or not its OK. If it still flexes like
it used to, and all the armour hasn't been ground away, go for it. (Just
not so hard this time.. OK?)

A good slide on a back protector will weaken the integrity of the item.
Its made of the same material and structural components as CE armour is,
well the ones I sell are anyway.

My personal opinion, not backed up by scientific evidence, is that
unless youve cracked the plastic, seriously abraded it or otherwise
dunked it in hydrocholoric acid or clems druel, then it should be good
for another round.

Do you hear of people replacing their CE armour after a bingle? Most
dont, but helmuts are a different story... brains are little more precious.

If your still worried, get a new one, they are around $80 in most
stores. MAW usually have a good deal on them.

Disclaimer: Im involved with Underdog Leathers, weve been seeing each
other for about 18 months now.

After looking at your bck protectors, what's the dif between them aside from
how many pieces in them and the price? comfort?

I'm toying with the idea of getting one.

Same design, more or less plating to fit taller, shorter people. More
plating = more plastic = more cost. Comfort is dependant on fit. They
are all reasonably comfortable BUT it depends on how your jacket fits
around it... ie if its tight, then it may make you uncomfortable etc
etc. I wear one most of the time when weekend riding and its reasonably
comfortable but for some reason Im too lazy to wear it commuting to
work. Moike seemed to be happy with his and others who have bought are
happy - well I assume they are cos Ive heard no complaints.

Usually the 6pc fits most people well.

Disclaimer: Underdog and I are lovers, so far hes treating me well, but
the relationship is fairly new. He drinks a lot of beer though so I hope
he doesnt turn into a slob
