I just bought a full tech pro alpinestars back protector - how the @#$%@ do I strap this thing on? (oh goodness, that didn't sound very good) It has several straps with velcro that I have yet to figure out how they come together.

This is just great. I can operate a motorcycle, but I can't dress myself

Anyone have this back protector?

Ill have one in a couple of days, and a buddy of mine wears one all the time. Of course the big one goes around your waist then there are the shoulder straps, plus 2 more that take the slack out of the shoulder straps and velcro somewhere... I know that this isnt the best description but maybe it will help.

Big one around your waist, one over your shoulders attaches to the waistband, and the two on the side go across your chest.

Interestingly, the big velcro pad that comes over my head straps upside down to the best one...not sure it this is right, but it isn't moving anywhere - especially under my suit. Sooooooo, I'll run with this setup for now - thanks ND.

Why don't you post pics of your strap-on (that didn't sound good either) so we can see what you mean?

my straps were on backwards when I got the protector. At least I think it was. It seems to fit much better now that I swapped sides. Now, on mine the black side of the strap is facing out and the triangle points down when I put the strap over my shoulders and attach it to the waist belt.
