- Looking for a DRZ400.
I did a little reading about back armor and that it is often not included in jackets because the risk of a back injury due to a direct hit on the spine wouldn't really be protected by such padding (most back injuries being from impacts to the head and shoulders). Though it does protect the organs etc. when not directly impacted. You could always buy a separate back protector to wear under the jacket but I was looking at a jacket here locally for $50 used that has the shoulder and elbow armor (no back armor) but with Black Friday prices on motorcycle jackets abundant I can get one new for $60 or so that has back padding. I don't know if I want to pick up one locally or order one.
Looking for you thoughts.
