Product Information
Full details
The RST Race Dept D3O Back Protector is designed for motorcycle riders and track enthusiasts seeking high-level impact protection that does not sacrifice mobility. Utilizing advanced D3O Level 2 armour, it offers a perfect balance of flexibility and safety, ensuring the material remains pliable during normal movement while hardening instantly upon impact. It is an essential safety upgrade for those wearing non-airbag riding suits, though it is important to note that it must be worn as a standalone harness underneath gear and is not a substitute for an integrated airbag system.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this protector Level 1 or Level 2?
This model features D3O Level 2 armour, which offers a higher degree of energy absorption compared to Level 1 protectors.
Can I wear this under a one-piece leather suit?
Yes, this protector is specifically designed to be worn underneath non-airbag leather suits.
How do I determine if I need a Medium or Large?
The fit depends on your torso length and waist size; ensure the protector covers from the base of your neck to just above your tailbone without interfering with your helmet.
Is the D3O insert removable?
Yes, the D3O impact component is removable, which simplifies the cleaning process for the mesh harness.
Does this replace the back protector inside my jacket?
Yes, if you use this harness, you should remove any standard foam padding insert from your riding jacket to prevent excessive bulk and discomfort.
Troubleshooting
The protector feels loose or shifts while riding.
Re-adjust the shoulder straps and ensure the double waist closure is pulled tight to lock the harness against your lower back.
Feeling too much heat while riding.
Ensure your riding jacket or suit has functional intake and exhaust vents; the 3D mesh relies on airflow to transport heat away from the body.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Certified Level 2 impact protection
- Breathable 3D mesh for heat management
- Highly adjustable harness for a customized fit
- Flexible D3O material allows for natural riding posture
Cons
- Adds a layer under your suit which may feel bulky to some riders
- Not compatible with integrated airbag suits
- Requires careful adjustment to prevent shifting under gear
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the protector, first adjust the shoulder braces to match your torso length, then pull the inner waist belt taut followed by the outer TPR pull-tab closure. This double-closure system is vital for keeping the protector aligned with your vertebrae. Regarding compatibility, this harness is intended for use under standard leather or textile riding gear that does not already contain an internal back protector or an airbag system. To clean, remove the D3O armour inserts if possible and hand wash the mesh harness using mild detergent and cold water. Always air dry the unit away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the fabric and foam components.
