The updated Forcefield Body Armour Pro Sub 4 features a removable cover that is washable, allowing the rider to keep the back protector cleaner. It also eliminates the bonding between cover and protective systems along the edge of the device, making the back protector more flexible and allowing it to conform better to the rider’s body, the company says. The device is designed to transmit less force to the rider than any other back protector on the market and to withstand multiple impacts. Suggested retail is $199, from dealers.
