INFORMATION SHEET FOR BACK PROTECTORS WHICH ARE USED WITH MOTORBIKE, BICYCLE OR WINTER SPORTS CLOTHING OR OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING.

This back protector was designed, manufactured and tested according to EUROPEAN STANDARD 1621-2:2014 LEVEL 1 for devices which protect against mechanical impact.

CAUTION:

Provided that it is correctly used and worn, this protector can minimise the consequences associated with mechanical impact in the areas protected by it.

However, it cannot guarantee complete protection. Spinal injuries or fractures cannot be prevented.

MEANING OF THE 'CE' MARK

The CE mark of conformity on the protective device documents the conformity of the product with the corresponding standard and directive of the European Community which demands the affixing of this mark and certifies that the protective device has been subjected to an EC prototype test. The conformity with the requirements of the European Directive 89/686/EEC for personal protective equipment (and subsequent modifications) as well as with the those of the harmonising technical standard 1621-2:2014 was certified by the testing institute TÜV Rheinland LGA Products GmbH, Tillystr. 2, D-90431 Nürnberg, Germany, notified body 0197.

1. LEVEL OF PROTECTION

Degree of protection '1', 'kerbstone test': impact energy 50J, transmitted residual force less than 18 kN

Degree of protection '2', 'kerbstone test': impact energy 50J, transmitted residual force less than 9 kN

The degree of protection given is printed on the webbing sewn in to the interior of the protector (or simply on its exterior).

This protector complies with Class 1.

The protector offers limited protection (in so far as it is correctly used and worn) against the consequences of a strong mechanical force, such as would occur with a fall or an impact. also, in the case of a fall on a motorbike or cycle, or during winter sports, for example, it can lessen the severity of cuts and bruises in the region protected by the device. however, it does not provide a guarantee that no physical injury will be sustained! it is therefore recommended that motorcycle riders, sports cyclists and those practising winter sports use the back protector. However, this should not be interpreted as encouragement to be careless or to drive recklessly while using it. The degree of protection given by the back protector remains undiminished only as long as its original characteristics remain unaltered. For this reason modifications and/or repairs must not be undertaken without the approval of the manufacturer.

The cushioning in the neck and rump areas do not comply with the 1621-2:2014 and do not provide sufficient protection.

The manufacturers cannot accept liability for any consequences whatsoever which are attributable to unauthorised alterations or repairs.

2. DESIGNATED USE

This back protector has been designed for use by motorbike riders, sport cyclists and those practising winter sports. It may be used on its own, with other suitable protective equipment or combined with clothing.

3. TIPS FOR USE

It is important to wear the back protector along the spinal area of the back (with the soft padding against your back) to ensure that maximum effect is achieved. Make sure that the writing is readable and not upside down.

4. CORRECT SIZE

The back protector is available in three sizes. Please use the back protector according to the body size and the hip - shoulder distance of the wearer. No single variable can be suitable for all body dimensions.

Size Body height	Hip-Shoulder Distance
XS/$ approx. 141-157 cm 40-44 cm
M approx. 157-173 cm 45-49 cm
L/XL approx. 173-191 cm 50-54 cm

! FURTHER TIPS:

Once the protector is positioned as per instructions, check its fit by putting the appropriate jacket on over it and carrying out all the physical actions you will later go through when performing the particular activity for which its use is designed (i.e. cycling, motorcycling, winter sports). Secure the back protector using the waist strap (which has hook-and-loop fastening).

CAUTION:

It is important to carry out a basic check on the protector before use in case there is any damage, such as fractures or tears. Even only minor ones may impair its function. In case of damage, or if the protector has been subjected to a significant impact, the protector must be replaced.

The back protector will only fulfil its protective function if it is correctly fitted and secured and is in an undamaged state. The manufacturers cannot accept liability for any damage and any consequences whatsoever which may arise from improper use, or from wearing clothing that is partially or wholly unsuitable for the back protector to be positioned correctly.

5. LIMITATIONS OF USE

The tests to ascertain the back protector's impact absorption capacity were carried out according to the regulations, at a temperature of between 15 °C and 22 °C and with a relative humidity of between 60% and 70%. With values beyond these ranges the impact absorption capacity of the back protector may change.

It is absolutely necessary to wear appropriate clothing over the back protector.

Under no circumstances must it be worn outside (or without) clothing.

6. PROTECTION ZONE

The back protector gives protection within the protection zone, as shown in the illustration (1). if the back protector is no longer in the condition it was as supplied to the customer, or if a damaged back protector is used adequate protection is no longer afforded.

7. STORAGE, CARE, CLEANING

To keep the protector in good condition we recommend that you store it in a dry, well-ventilated environment, away from heat sources, windows, doors or glass panels, and that you avoid leaving it in direct sunlight. The ambient temperature must thereby never fall below 5 °C or above 70°C (which temperature can be exceeded in the car in summer weather, for example). avoid both extreme cold and heat.

You should also make sure that the back protector is stored with its inside uppermost to ensure that no weight will come to rest on it, as this can cause deformation or damage.

We strongly advise that you check the fastener systems of the protector after each use for possible breaches or other defects. should any tears or damaged areas, even of a minor nature, be discovered, please correspond with the manufacturer to arrange a further assessment.

8. SERVICE LIFE

Provided that the back protector is stored with care as recommended above and has not been exposed to any mechanical impact it can retain its protective function for a long period of time. The duration of its service life depends in particular on how it is used/worn, the resulting wear and tear of its constituent materials and climatic conditions and other environmental factors.
