It all really depends on what you are looking for... I have a wave G2 that I also purchaed from RevZilla for another Dainese jacket and so I tried it out in my new air mesh2... I decided I wanted something larger to fill the back protector pocket more as the jacket is so thin. This did the job perfectly... it takes up the entire back protector pocket on the jacket (in G2 form)... It covers some extra inches of shoulderblade area that the wave doesn't. It is slightly stiffer than the wave so that may make some people dislike it... this stiffness would be a lot less noticeable in a leather than a mesh jacket... so is it perfect? no... but for the price it definitely fit my bill... it seems like it would hold up in a crash about the same as a wave g2 (but then again I am not an engineer, just a common sense type observation)... Its fairly solid but does have some vent holes... I didn't really notice getting any hotter in the area than without in the mesh jacket so it must be flowing "enough" air...

PS: I don't know if its "kosher" or not but there are the built in "flex" joints that the protector is supposed to flex on... as I stated they don't flex very well or it wouldn't be considered stiff... I personally flexed those joints a bit by hand to loosen them up... but do so at your own risk (don't know if it ruins the crash protection of it or anything but it didn't seem to (no visible/tactile signs of damage))

Yes, I recommend this product.

Dainese Jacket Wave W-T Pro

Dainese Jacket Wave W-T Pro Features Back protector certified to EN 1621.2/2003 Standard (Lev. 2) Composite protectors certified to EN 1621.1/97 Standard Chest protector in compliance with pre-Standard Pr-EN 1621.3/10 level 2 Jointed shoulder-upper arm protector Jointed elbow-forearm protector External back protector plates in polypropylene with corrugated perforated structure Core in aluminium Honeycomb frame Lateral rib protection plates in Astronmemory and extruded polypropylene sandwich Front plate in polypropylene Back protector with lumbar joint Lumbar band with double adjustment strap Front plate-lumbar support fastening Front plate in ergonomic shape Side flexible plates Adjustable strap Forearm adjustment Liner in thermoformed polyethylene foam Coarse-mesh elasticated Lycra protective bodice External perforated pads Liner inside back in polyester mesh fabric Liner in double jersey PCT Patent Pending This safety jacket is offered in 3 different torso lengths, and 5 different chest sizes, to allow for proper fit. Type 1 is the shortest length, Type 2 is the average length, and Type 3 is the longest length. Length refers to torso length, not overall height. Chest sizing is S-XXL.

When ordering what does the "type" option mean and how long is the back protector?

I have an older version of this jacket and it doesn't have full thorax protection or any side rib protection so I am considering this new version. 1) What does the Type option mean? 2) I am concerned about the length of the back protector. It looks longer than the one I have now which is borderline too long. Do you have a length measurement on the back protector? Thanks for carrying Dianese. The jacket I have now has been bullet proof. I really love it and feel totally protected in it. I use it for offroad riding.

The G2 is 17.5" tall at its tallest point... and 10.5" wide at its widest... so I'd measure your pocket... supposedly if the jacket is supposed to take the "G" type back protector it should fit... the G1 is for women's and smaller men's sizes and the G2 for larger. I believe the difference is just in height/"length".

Dainese N-Frame G Back Protector

Entry level, this back protector is Level 2?

What makes the Wave or Wave Air better? Also, customer comments say it is stiff and inflexible but the product description says it is articulated and flexible, can you comment.

I'm not positive on the Level 2... I don't THINK this one is but could be wrong (just wanted to address it since it was part of your question) but just believe its regular CE...

Wave's have more articulating joints and are more flexible and a completely different design... are they better? Wave's are probably slightly better in SPINE protection, however personally I think this one is better at overall BACK protection since it covers more back area...

As far as flexible: the wave is definitely more flexible... this does have some "slits" to help it flex but its still fairly stiff as it comes... you can likely loosen it up by flexing it a bunch by hand to "break it in" but I can't comment as to how that affects the structural integrity/safety of it...

Can I have the dimensions for the G2 please?

At it's tallest point 17.5" high, At the shoulder blades its 8.5", the widest portion (about mid spine) is 10.5" wide, the very bottom where it sits against the bottom of the pocket is 6.5". The edge of the protector has a semi rigid flap of 1/4" to 1/3" on each side that can be left how it is or kind of folded in if its a tight fit wherever you are trying to put it so you have about 1/2" to 2/3" leeway if its a REALLY tight fit in your jacket
