I've seen European companies producing full motorcycle armour mainly designed for motorcycle racers. They have a back spine protector, chest foam, shoulder cups, practically every extention of your body is covered. You look like a cyborg with it on.
Here's a brand:
Like most of our other armors A3J also surpasses EU quality standards for back protectors. It has multiple layers providing ultimate protection from high energy impacts. The back plates of A3J can absorb up to 90 % of the energy from a 50 KN impact which exceeds the requirements of the EN 1621-2 test for motorcycle back protectors. EN 1621-2 is EU quality standard for back protectors.
If 50KN = 50,000 Newtons and each Newton is .22481 of a pound then this Level 3 Armour can absorb 10,116.45 pounds of force.
In a worst case scenario: you're hit by a car on the highway, can you literally walk away from the accident with this Armour and Helmet?
