I'm looking for a back protector, which I plan on wearing all the time on the street. I am going to get something top of the line, and I think I've pretty much narrowed it down to either the Forcefield Sub 4 or the Tryonic 3.7. Both of these are apparently sub-CE Level 2. The main difference is that one (Forcefield) is a soft foam-based protector, and the other is a hard segmented "crocodile" type.

I can't decide - I'm more impressed with Forecefield and their reputation. On the other hand, there's something reassuring about the hard shell, but that's not based on anything scientific.

Which one would you go for?
