Road testers found the Forcefield extremely reassuring and comfortable because it moulds to the contours of your back as it gathers heat escaping the body and feels as if it would absorb impact as well. The feeling is supported by the protection tests, with high levels of impact absorptio, achieved consistantly across the protective areas with no weak areas. Because it is relatively slim, getting leathers over it is easy too. The average force transfer across the seven impacts was 5.6kN, comfortably under the 9kN limit for Europe's Higher Level 2 standard .
