Engineered for the 170-180 cm rider, the SPIDI Back Warrior utilizes a proprietary composite cell architecture to deliver Level 2 CE protection without the bulk of traditional armor. This specific size iteration is calibrated to fit riders within this height range, ensuring the protective core aligns precisely with the spine and thoracic region. The construction relies on highly shock-absorbing light composite material cells that form a rigid yet flexible shield, designed to dissipate high-impact forces effectively while maintaining a low profile that does not interfere with the fit of your riding jacket.
The ergonomic design prioritizes thermal regulation and a custom fit through an integrated ERGOFIT SYSTEM and advanced air canalization. By incorporating internal mesh and strategic venting, this protector facilitates approximately 50% more air circulation than standard back protectors, keeping the rider cool during long-distance touring or hot-weather riding. The double fastening system on the belt allows for precise adjustment, ensuring the unit adheres closely to the back to prevent shifting, while the total weight of under 560 grams—significantly lighter than the 900-gram average of traditional protectors—reduces fatigue and allows the rider to maintain better concentration and control.
Certified to EN 1621-2:2014 Level 2 standards, the Back Warrior demonstrates superior impact resistance with a residual energy of just 7.8 kN, well below the 18 kN regulatory limit. This performance metric confirms the protector’s ability to absorb shock effectively, offering a safety margin that exceeds basic compliance requirements. The unit is also designed for practicality, featuring a folding mechanism that allows it to be stored in luggage compartments when not in use, making it an ideal solution for riders who require high-level protection for specific segments of their journey without carrying unnecessary weight.
