Forcefield is a highly innovative back designed exclusively by
Davies Odell to compliment its high performance body armour
under their TPro brand. The Forcefield back is designed to be
soft, flexible and comfortable. Therefore no hard inner or outer
materials are used in its construction, as these have been known
to have caused injury to riders in unforeseen circumstances
At Forcefield we pride ourselves at passing the CE test at
Levels other companies can only dream about. Our Body Armour
product is subjected to the CE type examination testing and
certification by SATRA - A European Notified Body (reference
number 0321) for personal protective equipment (PPE). We
understand a lot of manufacturers claim figures, many of these
cannot be substantiated, or proven. Here at Forcefield we are
different. Please see our product descriptions, and see for
yourself the official test results.
What Performance level does the Forcefield
achieve?
The Forcefield back achieves and surpasses level 2,the highest
pass possible against the latest European draft
standard ref: prEN1621 - 2 `which is officially
known as "Motorcyclists Protective Clothing against
mechanical impacts - Part 2" i.e. Motorcyclists Back.
SATRA Technology Centre in the UK has stringently
tested the Forcefield Back. CE documentation and
performance tests are fully approved and supported
by SATRA. All production is continually monitored
both in the UK and Asia. By our working closely with
`SATRA Technology Centre` and the `Protective
Clothing Research Facility` at Cambridge University
gives the consumer assurance that Forcefield down to
its finest detail conforms to the latest CE
requirements.
The latest testing by SATRA of the Forcefield back
protector transmitted only 5.5Kn to the body.
(The maximum transmission allowed for level 2 is
9Kn). This is the ultimate in protection and
comfort. |

TECHNOLOGY |
|
Armourflex
A combination of a unique triangular high tech shock
absorbing material in conjunction with a different
density base layer creates a versatile, soft and
lightweight protective layer. The innovative design
allows energy to be dispersed evenly across its
surface therefore reducing areas of high-transmitted
forces, which cause injury to the user. |
|
| |
|
|
Multi Layer
Layers of high tech shock absorbing Nitrex foams
offering soft, highly flexible and comfortable
armour that moulds to the user's body. The layers of
foam are perforated and stitched in such a way as to
allow partial movement of the inner layers. This
movement helps to pump air through the perforations
allowing air to build up and move between the layers
when in use. These air pockets assist in absorbing
the impact, therefore increasing the level of
protection. |

Shoulder Straps
The Forcefield Pro L2K shoulder straps are designed to be
fully adjustable to give a satisfying fit. When
adjusting the shoulder strap, as little tension as
possible is required over the shoulder as the straps
are designed to simply hold the back snugly to the
body. |
|
| |
|
|
Perforation
Each Layer of Nitrex foam has a series of holes
specifically arranged to maximize performance and
breathability. These perforations also aid in
reducing weight and enhancing the comfort aspects of
the product. |
Even distribution of transmitted force

|
|
Waist Straps
The Forcefield Pro L2K has a secondary waist adjustment
strap that allows greater flexibility for achieving
the optimum fit. The longer inner straps are secured
in position firstly followed by the shorter outer
straps that adjusts the tension to maximize comfort.

Forcefield
is a brand synonymous with high performance
protection, innovative design
and with commercial acceptability in mind. |

Back Protection for Motorcyclists
Only a few motorcyclists receive a direct blow
to the spine causing serious injury; more
spine injuries are probably due to direct blows
to the shoulders and hips. The products
commonly known as motorcyclists back protectors,
if correctly designed and constructed
may alleviate some minor direct impacts on the
back, but will not prevent skeletal or
neurological injuries to the spine in motorcycle
accidents.
The Forcefield back can be used in numerous
sports activities where impacts are an
inherent occurrence such as:
Motocross
Road Race
Speedway
Enduro
Paragliding
plus numerous others |
