POC and RED have spine protectors that are not like tees they look more like a bag that will protect your spine. They would definitly be more convenient than that huge armor thats gotta be sooo expensive too.

i have the Poc back thing, sorry i dont know the name on the top of my head. Any ways though its amazing, after the first couple times riding i didnt even know it was there, and i can land flat on my back with out it hurting, so awesome!

demon makes some stuff including a vest with spine, rib, and shoulder protection for $80. POC looks higher quality(and it better be for the price) but for $80, demon might be worth a try. website is demonsnow.com

Yeah I can't see that being too comfortable but who knows, and 50% is a deal, you should try it on first and shit and see if it feels nice I think those spine protectors would be better and less in the way.

Right I totally agree, but I don't really ski park... So flexibility in terms of spinning and shit is at a all time low. I just go for back country, bumps/trees so i was looking for the most protection available.

I think you're right though; I should try it on to make sure it fits haha.

check out the slytech 2nd skin multi sport jacket. much less bulky than the poc set up, and you will wear it because it isnt uncomfortable. what is the point of having the poc level of protection if it is so uncomfortable you wont want to wear it

Maybe it's just me but what I disliked about the spine protectors i tried on was that they run too low.  Basically they protect your ass too but it makes you a lot less dexterous. 

As for POC its all superquality stuff and at 150 I dont see you regretting buying it, but I would definitely want to try it on somewhere first.
