Thanks for the thorough review! Makers of bike wear should really stop offering level 1 protection and “back protector ready” clothes and step up really to what people actually need to be safe, that’s level 2 protection everywhere…price will go up, but I think most of the riders prefer safety over an one-time cost. Just my 2 cents.
trousers are a bit pricey for what they are, and i would have thought a back protector at least with the jacket at that price looks great but meh on the pricing.
