I did a NESBA day earlier this year and they recommended back and chest protectors, I did an STT day about a year and a half ago and they had a fatality about a week before that would have been prevented with a chest protector. You can pick them up for about $150 anywhere. I seem to remember Azoom having the women's specific Alpinestars Bionic gear too.
NtS, um, yeah, just because I can be injured in the neck doesn't mean I shouldn't protect my back too.

whoa im not saying dont get one. I've been in some wrecks and have never scathed my back, but i'll still buy one for the track. as far as street riding go I think most of em do as much harm as they do good. Lots of them constrict movement, which if you ride a lot on the interstate and need to look back is mucho importante.
