Can you get a back protector to fit in a regular back pack...?
I have an Osprey Talon bag that I love, but want to protect my back.

Cheers for that.Here you go although you might find that it's as expensive as a new pack and may not sit as well in a pack not designed to take it.

That sounds like a great deal. Just tried their website but it’s not working...will try later...I've just bought an Endura MT500 hydration pack complete with bladder and back protection from the cycle store. It was £69.99 which is near as damn it half RRP. It seems like a very good pack although I haven't tested it in anger yet It was also free P&P.

Mine hasn't arrived yet, but I've seen Chris Smith on EMBN using the same one so I'm sure it'll be fine.Is it any good? Still not tried mine in anger yet but to be honest I have lots of experience with rucksacks from my alpine climbing days and feel confident it will be fine.

Cheers for that.
As you say, it’s nearly 50% the price of an Evoc or Ergon backpack with protection.
I seem to recall that it is marketed as CE II certified.Adding back protection makes it a Personal Protective Equipment, which means it needs CE marking, Back protectors are Category II and require type approval by a c€rtification body.
Yes, they're CE certified
"Integrated CE 1621-2 Level 2 Koroyd® back protector"
I'm not being drawn into that one but in any case if they are certified as being safe today they will still be safe in November or whenever. What do you mean by legal? If you mean for races I couldn't care less.
