Kali Protectives Astra Level II Back Protector
The Kali Protectives Astra Level II back protector is one of the most protective back protectors available for motorcross, mountain bike, and BMX. It offers oversized Nitrex foam soft-shell padding together with seven large hard shells that run down your spine, from the base of your neck to your tailbone. Together, this combination of hard- and soft-shell protection covers almost the entire expanse of your back. Also, through a Velcro attachment system, the Kali Astra Level II will accommodate aftermarket neck braces.
The Kali Protectives Astra Level II back protector offers:
- Oversized combination of Nitrex foam and polycarbonate urethane for soft-shell protection of your back, spine, kidneys, and tailbone
- Hard shell spine guard consisting of seven articulated, trapezoidal polycarbonate shells that protect you from your neck down to your tailbone
- Two-inch thick soft-shell combination Nitrex/polycarbonate urethane foam pad that protects the base of your neck and is removable so as to fit other aftermarket neck braces if so desired
- Heavy-duty, four-inch wide, infinitely adjustable, butterfly waist belt
- Certification to the European Community safety standard of EN 1621-2 (Level II Protection)
- Appealing graphics and color combination
It is worth repeating that the Kali Protectives Astra Level II achieves the highest level of European Community certification for back protector safety protection. That is, EN 1621-2 (Level II). The designation ‘1621-2’ refers to the category of back protectors for motorcycle use. The designation ‘Level II’ indicates exactly how protective the back protector is. In this instance, Level II is the most protective level of safety the EC has defined. It is twice as protective as the EU 1621-2 (Level 1) standard.
