Luckily I never found out for real - I find a built in protector convenient and I'm less tempted to 'not bother' with it because it's built into the jacket I always put on in northern europe climates, whilst the strap on ones I've seen look more substantial you do need to be bothered to wear it. The upside is if you do find your full jacket too hot you could always wear a back protector under a lighter jacket. So which is best - I think if I had a big off I'd prefer a full length strap on protector rather than a bit of Hein gericke foam rubber...... :confused1:
