This protector absolutely saved me from a spinal injury! I was in a rough boulder strewn jeep trail with half the trail washed out. One side was almost two feet lower than the other and I stalled out over a large rock and lost my footing. I fell back and my foot didn't touch the ground and I went down really hard. By back landed right on big rock right in the center of my spine. But buddy was looking back and dropped his bike because he thought for sure I just broke my back.
I didn't feel a thing and got right up, but had I not been wearing this I am convinced I would of died on that rock or suffered a major spinal injury.
I also had a hard fall on a high speed section in some loose sand in Moab and was wearing this and think I would of cracked a few ribs had I not been wearing it too.
It's bulky, but that's the point. So under my riding jack or with a jersey on top I look like a linebacker. But form over fashion.
I also like how well ventilated it is that even on cross country trips in the summer I can still wear it and feel comfortable and not overheat.
It's pricey but I used my HSA money for it and it was worth it.
Pros: Saved me from a wheelchair
Cons: Bulky but that's the point
Recommended: Yes
