    Which back protector?

    What do you mean by "in your experience" have you competed in one? If so did it not make you feel safe/protect you in a fall?

    I would happily use Andrew, he would be perfect as he is a little bit ....different? but unfortunately I would have to have it in his words and not those of his PA/OH/Groom/Support team. Get him to email me if he if interested.

    Body Protectors - Racesafe or Rodney Powell?

    That's where you went wrong! If you had put one on you would have realised that they fit so well and are so comfortable that you don't know you are wearing it.
