My Teknic suit came with one, but I have to say the Teknic spine protectors are really nice. I like the cumberbun (sp) waist strap it stays in place. I recommend these to anyone not only racers where actually it's mandatory, but if I didn't have to take it out of my suit each time I'd where mine on the street under my leather jacket, but I've given up street riding for a while so don't have to worry about it lol. Look up Teknic though...parts unlimited sells them check with your local dealer or let me know I can probably get ya one from the shop that sponsors me for a decent price.
