‘Manis’ back protector by Dainese

DAINESE was the first company to introduce a back protector in 1981, and the latest version from the Italian manufacturer is the Manis. This new back protector is said to offer freedom of movement, while also moulding to the back by elongating, contracting and flexing to adapt to the position of the body.

In order to protect the spine, Dainese’s D-TEC engineers have developed a revolutionary solution for the Manis that fastens the protective components of the back protector so that they are not static, but free to move. The protector can elongate and flex laterally so as to protect along its full length and can twist so as to perfectly follow all chest movements while still performing its main role as a back protector.
The scales that make up the outer of the protector are fastened to a separate layer of padding and joined to each other by a central pivot that lets them slide as and when needed. Lateral flexible silicone joints provide control and stability of movement as well as flexibility and resistance under all types of conditions.
The padding consists of a sandwich made of three different materials as well as ‘Crash Absorb’ material joined to a comfort layer made of expanded polyethylene. The Manis also has numerous perforations to allow body heat to dissipate.
