Dainese Pro-Armor Back Long 2.0 Back Protector - Height >175cm/68.9in | 20187621000100

When lap times matter and every corner demands total commitment, the Dainese Pro-Armor Back Long 2.0 delivers Level 2 certified back protection without compromising the freedom of movement that track riding demands. Designed specifically for riders standing taller than 175 cm, this long-format protector combines Dainese's fractured-panel Xelion 2.0 technology with a five-degree articulation system to keep you protected and unrestricted from the first warm-up lap to the cool-down.

Key Features

• CE certified Category II to EN 1621.2/2014 Level 2 — the highest impact-protection standard for back armour, race-ready straight out of the box.
• Fractured-panel design in expanded nitrile rubber with thermoplastic bearings delivers simultaneous lateral flexion, longitudinal extension and rotational movement for unrestricted riding ergonomics.
• Four articulation bearings across five degrees of freedom allow the protector to track every spinal movement naturally, eliminating the stiffness that undermines confidence at speed.
• Xelion 2.0 construction keeps the overall weight exceptionally low while the perforated structure channels airflow continuously across the back — essential during sustained high-pace riding in warm conditions.
• Removable and adjustable lumbar strap tailors the fit to the rider's torso, ensuring the protector stays centred whether tucked over the tank or upright on the brakes.
• Removable straps allow the protector to integrate seamlessly into compatible Dainese jackets or be worn independently with a suitable back-protector pocket.

Xelion 2.0 — Built for Performance Riding

Dainese developed the Xelion 2.0 material specifically to resolve the compromise that has long existed between protection ratings and freedom of movement. Expanded nitrile rubber absorbs and disperses impact energy efficiently, while thermoplastic bearing inserts at the four articulation points control flex direction and magnitude. The result is a protector that moves with the rider rather than against them — particularly valuable during the dynamic weight shifts of track riding, where a rigid back protector can interfere with body position and cause fatigue over a long session.

Ventilation and All-Day Wearability

The perforated construction of the Pro-Armor Back Long 2.0 is not decorative. Each perforation is placed to maintain continuous air circulation against the back, reducing heat build-up during sustained riding. Combined with the low mass of the Xelion 2.0 material, this makes the protector genuinely comfortable over full track days and extended touring stages alike — conditions where cheaper, heavier armour becomes a distraction long before the day is done.

Fitment and Compatibility

The Pro-Armor Back Long 2.0 in this listing is the extended-length version, sized for riders with a height above 175 cm / 68.9 in. It is designed to fit the back-protector pockets of compatible Dainese jackets and suits, and can also be used as a standalone protector with the included strap system. Two torso-length options are available — M for torso measurements below 89 cm / 35 in, and L for torso measurements above 90 cm / 35.4 in — allowing a precise fit across a wide range of body proportions. Always verify compatibility with your specific Dainese garment before purchase.
