Teknic Back Protector

Just thought I would mention this.....seems like a steal: http://www.newenough.com/armor_teknic_seve...tector_page.htm

I saw that too!
Anybody have one of these and like it?

Saw that last night but is it CE certified or not? I need a CE back protector for the track as I just got a suit off ebay tow days ago.

I looked at one of those when I was in the market for a back protector. My impression was that it was VERY cheaply made and that it would probably fall apart after a couple of months of use (if that). I decided to go with a Dianese instead even though it cost me 4 times as much as the Tecknic.

I've got one similar to that one, but branded different (can't remember the name right now). It works decent, but when I pull my suit up, it always seems to ride up my back. If it is just for the occasional track day, it is alright. If you plan to wear it all of the time, I'd spend the money on something better.

I have one and like it. Not too thick, but offers decient protection. The plastic panels move like a spine, but limit movement in the reverse direction.
