Forcefield Back Protector Pro Sub 4 The Forcefield Back Protector Pro Sub 4 is the worlds first Motorcycle back protector to transmit less than 4kn when subjected to the standard CE test. The Pro Sub 4 has been specifically designed to test at under 4kn when subjected to the standard CE test EN1621-2. Independent testing by SATRA shows a mean test result of 3.38kn transmitted energy, making it the first motorcycle back protector in the world to attain this level of performance. Constructed with a removable and washable outer cover to give the rider the ability to keep the back protector clean and hygenic, it also makes the protector more flexible as it is not bonded at the edges, this in turn makes it more comfortable to wear, a prime consideration in the design process of any Forcefield product. As with all Forcefield Body Armour the Pro Sub 4 has RPT (Repeat Performance Technology) ensuring continued and consistent protection even after multiple impacts.

I bought these in addition to the Action Shirt and Pro Sub 4 Back Protector. I cannot say enough about this brand. They fit well and, though it's a bit of a squeeze, can fit under my normal pair of jeans.
My only gripe is that the, for lack of a better word, "bottom protectors" can get a bit uncomfortable when sitting on the couch. On the bike though, I had no problems whatsoever. The knee armour tends to sag when walking around, but again, on the bike is no problem.
Have yet to try them in summer (as it's winter here atm) but they keep me sufficiently warm now. The material is a wonderful mesh, lycra hybrid so it's extremely comfortable and I think it'll keep me cool when the warmer weather rolls around.
But all in all, if you're after impact protection that's so comfortable you forget you're wearing it, you can't go past Forcefield.
TPRO Forcefield Action Shirt Constructed from BeCool, a unique fibre that has a greater diffusive area than standard fibre, this ensures high levels of breathability and comfort. During exercise the unique shape of the BeCool fibre means it acts like a fan extracting hot and wet air away from the body and replacing it with cool and fresh air. The low profile Nitrex CE approved armour is removable to allow the shirt to be machine washed for maximum hygiene. Designed to be used in conjunction with any Forcefield back protector to create the ultimate in upper body protection. Multi sport use Constructed from BeCool with Humidity Discharge Function Removable armour at the chest, elbow and shoulder RPT (Repeat Performance Technology) Machine washable (with armour removed) Increased perforation panels at prone areas Thumb loops for added security CE approved Nitrex armour Can be used in conjunction with any external Forcefield back protector
With regards to the Forcefield action shirt, how does it stand up as a daily street ride source of protection?
I can't say from first hand experience whether they hold up in a crash (thankfully) but I can say when I'm wearing it, I feel extremely well protected.
