safety equipment to wear? kidney belts

[Keith of Ronin]

i dont know but getting older, my back is acheing more and more
how many of you use kidneybelts, when riding, do they help with back problems

thinking about getting one

A couple friend's of mine wear Dainese lower back supporters. They say it works wonders for longer rides. I'd imagine it would do the same for someone who already has back problems.

My velocity Gear back protector really helps me out on long rides keeping my back straight and helping support everything. A little weird feeling at first but I'm getting used to it.

You know, I have a lower back supporter for enduro riding that I never use, and I've never even thought to wear it under my leathers... Maybe I ought to try it.

I've seen plenty of Harley riders wear kidney belts on long rides.

I've never had to wear anything like that before for any job... what exactly do they do?

Weight training is the best solution for an aching back, but a proper back protector with a waist-belt will provide addtional support as well.
