However, I would have to bet that the back pad is not as kick-ass as the Astars armor protection-wise. You can really get a good feeling if you go out and try some of this stuff on and give them all a good fondling. And since you are down in Florida, there should be no shortage of bike shops for you to check out. I know when I am down in Jacksonville there are like 7 bike shops all within 5 miles of Atlantic Beach that I check out. There are some good deals to be had down there, I always bring back something. I really do think that you should find a shop or two that have the options you are looking at and going to check them out in person. Good luck.

Alright, thanks for the help. Jville is a 3 hour drive (even with how I drove) so I'll have to wait a bit before I get out there. I'll hit up Panama City to just see what they have, if you know a place with a great selection in Jackonsonville or Tampa, leave me the name, I'll check them out come November.
