The protector should feel light and not interfere with the overall experience!




 This weekend, our test pilot, Lina Sundgren together with Ski Unlimited went up in beautiful Lofoten, this time they brought a bunch of ski enthusiasts which they  have  guided through ski tours, fishing trips and refreshing bath in hot tub. When Lina is skiing, she uses our new back protector concept KORI Ocelot, which will be launched at the upcoming winter season 2013/2014.

Lina has been skiing with KORI Ocelot for some time now, on ski tours both in Lofoten, Italy and France. She finds it important that the protector feels light and does not interfere with the overall experience of the tour "What's really great is that this tour I noticed that I actually did not even think that I had a back protection on and that’s really good!"

What Lina appreciate with KORI is that it is so soft and smooth, she also likes the new closure solution of the chest, the former plastic buckle is replaced with a low profile hook in aluminum that gives a slimmer and more comfortable fit and "It feels more durable with it!”

"Comfortable to wear and with an exquisite sense of material."


Kori - smart Swedish back protector with integrated backpack
Kori - smart Swedish back protector with integrated backpack

Kori has been in another product review, this time by Hagen Hoppe who is the editor of BUMSEN, BMW club members magazine. We are pleased that Hagen seemed convinced and satisfied with our KORI and he summerize s the back protector with three words:
Multilateral
Feeling of quality
Locally produced in Sweden

Observe correction in article: We only recommended to drive with KORI, folded  and flat, inside your jacket. If KORI is used as a backpack while driving, it is very important to note that the protective properties are significantly reduced and you should supplement with additional protection inside the jacket or in the jacket. This is mainly due to that the position over the spine can not be assured when placed on the outside of the motorcyclejacket, even the contents of the backpack affect the backprotectors protective properties.

A real backprotector and... backpack!


KORI review in the motorcycle magazine Moto73 in Netherlands.

Back Protective bag
See here a real back protector and ... backpack! It is called D3O Viper Pro. It is a back protector that you put on like a backpack: including chest strap and a flexible belt around the waist, which you can easily attach with Velcro. You wear your motorcycle equipment over it, from which you of course remove the built-in protection, if possible. The back protector meets all requirements for materials and protection (EN 1621-2, level 2, the highest possible). It feels comfortable and keeps your back warm. One advantage at high temperatures can be felt as a drawback: despite the airy material you get at temperatures above 25 degrees anyway once a sweaty back. The back protection is removable and the rest is then washable. I met the creator and the motorcyclist Sophie von Wachenfeldt in Sweden, where she lives and works. "I never knew where I would leave my stuff when I took a motorcycle tour." explaining how she has come to this. And so evolved the idea: This back protector is also a backpack. And it easily adapts to what you put in it. An extra sweater, a newspaper or when taking a walk in a city, if needed, your whole motorcycle equipment, including helmet! With the continuous "lacing" Kori becomes exactly the size needed. Weight of this back protection Viper Pro is be between 1170 and 1450 grams, depending on which of the three available sizes you need.
I have tested the Viper Pro for a few thousand miles. It feels excellent comfortable. And as a backpack KORI Viper Pro also works excellent. A whole motorcycle equipment fits inside, when you want to visit something. But you can also get your papers and a camera with you on your bike.

Rug beschermer zak
zie hier een heuse rugbeschermer en...rygzak! D3O Viper Pro heet het apparaat. het is een rugbeschermer die je aantrekt als een rugzak: inclusief borstriempje en een flexibele band om je middel, die je gemakkelijk met klittenband vastzet. Daar overheen draag je motorpak, waaruit je natuurlijk wel de rugbescherming verwijdert als dat kan. De rugbeschermer voldoet aan alle eisen qua materiaal en bescherming (EN 1621-2, niveau 2; het hoogst mogelijke). Hij voelt comfortabel aan en houdt bovendien de rug warm. Een voordeel dat zich bij hoge temperatuur laat voelen als een nadeel: ondanks het luchtige material krijg je boven de 25 graden toch snel een natte rug. De rugbescherming is uitneembaar en de rest daarna wasbaar. Ik ontomoet bedenkster en motorrijdster Sophie von Wachenfeldt in Zweden, waar ze woont en werkt. "Nooit wist ik waar ik mijnspullen moest laten als ik ergens met de motor naar toe rij". Legt ze uit hoe ze hierop is gekomen. En zo ontstond het idee: deze rugbeschermer is namelijk tegelijk  een rugzak. Die zich gemakkelijk aanpast aan wat je erin stopt. Een extra trui, een tijdschrift of, voor een wandelingetje in een stad, desnoods je hele motorpak, inclusief helm! Met de doorlopende "veter" neemt de Kori precies de omvang aan die nodig is. Het gewicht van de Viper Pro bedraagt tussen de 1170 en 1450 gram, afhankelijk van welke van de drie beschikbare maten je nodig hebt.
Ik heb de Viper Pro intussen gedurende enkele duizenden kilometers getest. Hij voelt buitengewoon comfortabel aan. En als rugzak functioneert de Viper Pro eveneens prima. Een heel motorpak past erin, als je iets wilt bezoeken. Maar ook je waardevolle papieren en een camera kun je zo op je bult meenemen.
