Spine Armor
Motorcycle back protectors to armor your spine – made of shock-absorbent materials.
Have your own back with motorcycle back protection
Designed to reduce the force of a crash, motorcycle back protectors shield your spine and vital organs. They combine advanced materials with smart design to give you serious protection that’s light, slim, and easy to wear under any motorcycle jacket.
Safety – a top priority
Typically made from multi-layered viscoelastic or impact-absorbing foams, motorcycle spine armor uses materials such as nitrite rubber or polynorbornene blends.
When struck, the structure compresses to disperse energy across the surface rather than letting it reach your spine. Many use memory foam-style layers that can withstand repeated impacts, maintaining their integrity ride after ride.

FAQ
What does CE Level 2 certification mean for motorcycle back protectors?
Motorcycle back protectors that are CE certified are also given a rating, either Level 1 or Level 2. A CE Level 2 back protector absorbs more energy than a Level 1 back protector, meaning it’s more protective.
How should a motorcycle back protector fit under a jacket?
There are two factors to consider when fitting a motorcycle back protector: your size and your jacket size.
When wearing it, the motorcycle back protector should extend from the base of your neck to just above your tailbone, staying close to your body without restricting movement. Most are sold in sizes XS through to XXL, with some pieces suiting multiple sizes, for example, XS to M.
Generally, back protectors are designed to slip into the internal pocket of a motorcycle jacket, vest, or armored shirt. To check the compatibility of your jacket, compare the protector’s dimensions to the jacket’s armor pocket.
What types of motorcycle back protectors are available?
Most back protectors are either a piece that can be inserted into the armor pocket of a jacket or riding shirt, or are a strap-on protector worn separately. The full range of back protectors available from Pando Moto is listed on this page.
Are motorcycle back protectors worth wearing for everyday riding?
Even on short street rides, motorcycle back protectors add a crucial layer of safety. The reality is accidents can happen anywhere, at any speed, and in the event of a crash, wearing a back protector can reduce the risk of serious injury.
Can I use a back protector if my jacket doesn’t have an insert pocket?
Whether or not you can use a back protector without a jacket insert pocket depends on the style of back protector. Most back protectors for the road are designed to be inserted into a jacket, vest, or shirt, so they can’t be used without a pocket to go into. Some back protectors, like those used in off-road racing, can be worn without a jacket as they are integrated into a mesh shirt or are part of a strap-on system.
