FORCEFIELD CLAIMS THE Sub 4 is the most-protective back protector you can buy, transmitting a record-breakingly small amount of energy during CE testing. It’s now updated into this 4K with a stronger Kevlar thread holding its multiple layers together, and a new-look washable cover. At an inch thick it’s daunting to wear at first, and not one to buy without sizing-up in a shop, but it gets more flexible as your body warms it up. MARTIN FITZ-GIBBONS
