Engineered for riders between 160 and 170 cm, the SPIDI Back Warrior utilizes a proprietary composite cell architecture to deliver Level 2 CE certification without the bulk of traditional armor. This specific size variant is tailored to ensure the protector adheres precisely to the mid-to-upper back region, preventing interference with jacket fit while maintaining critical alignment with the spine. The construction relies on highly shock-absorbing light composite materials that achieve an average shock-absorbing factor of 9 KiloNewtons, a performance metric that significantly exceeds the standard requirements for this class of protective equipment. By focusing on a folding design that can be stowed in luggage compartments, SPIDI has created a solution that balances high-impact structural integrity with the practicality required for daily commuting or touring.
The ergonomic profile is defined by the integrated ERGOFIT SYSTEM, which employs a double fastening mechanism on the belt to guarantee a custom, secure fit that stays in place during aggressive cornering. This model features a dedicated air canalization system paired with an internal mesh structure designed to increase air circulation by approximately 50% compared to standard back protectors, effectively managing heat buildup during long rides. Weighing in at just 560 grams—substantially lighter than the 900-gram average for traditional protectors—the unit reduces fatigue and allows the rider to maintain better concentration on the road. The combination of advanced material implementation and innovative design ensures that the protector remains thin and comfortable, evolving the concept of safety by making the gear easier to wear and less intrusive to the rider's natural movement.
Certified under EN 1621-2:2014 Level 2 standards, the Back Warrior demonstrates superior energy management with a residual energy of only 7.8 KiloNewtons, well below the 18 KiloNewtons maximum threshold mandated for certification. This mechanical tolerance ensures that in the event of a high-velocity impact, the composite cells absorb the majority of the kinetic energy, protecting the rider's vertebral column with a margin of safety that goes beyond basic compliance. The product is designed for riders who demand premium protection without compromising on mobility, offering a full-back coverage solution that is both technically rigorous and user-friendly. As a specialist in powersports equipment, I recommend this unit for riders who prioritize verified impact performance and climate management, noting that proper care involves line drying in the shade to preserve the integrity of the composite materials and ventilation channels.
