What type of back does this suit have? Is it a racer back?

Yes, it is a racer back. It comes together like an "X" at your shoulder blades and then goes out to either side. It is very comfortable

It does not come with back padding. You could custom fit a sloth on the back, as the womens version does come with one (basically a little cloth bag were the padding goes, much like the elbow and shoulder padding).

It is "faux leather" or pleather/fake leather. It's probably better than leather durability wise. My old ikea chair is kinda losing part of it's surface... I literally just assembled mine. Loving it. Will have a review video up on youtube soon and a review here on amazon. I'm definitely satisfied :) It may suffer from "sweaty back syndrome" under the right conditions. There are mesh versions of DX racer on their website for about $350. I'm sure amazon has them floating around as well.

The back is a soft, light color, short-sheared fur-like pile that feels great against my skin. A good design choice by the manufacturer in my opinion.

My rocker looks exactly like the one in the pic and it fit's it perfectly. The fabric is a tapestry fabric. The piece for the back is the tapestry fabric on both front and back and the piece for the seat is the tapestry fabric on the top side and rubberized on the bottom side to keep it from slipping. I love mine.

I stand corrected. They have added a chart to the product photos. Measure the neck and the back length as well.

It's neither mesh or leather. The outer and inner fabric is 100% polyester. And yes, there is padding/armor in the shoulder, elbow and back.

Like a regular motorcycle jacket with Lumbar reinforcement only. No armor at elbows or shoulders. "Cruiser" style, not crotch rocket style.

This is a jacket-length BDU top, the fabric is cotton-poly. I have owned many over the years. BDU "shirts", are not as long, do not have the waist-level pockets, and can be tucked-in, like any shirt. This is designed to be worn as shown in the photo. I purchased this one for paintball, at I highly recomend it.

Yes, it gives very good back support. I chose this style rather than a 'regular' one for that very reason and I am very pleased with it.

Yes, it has a back pocket. But, the zipper (front) broke shortly after I used it a few times. I have sent it back to the Pearl Izumi warranty place and will see if they send me a repaired or new jacket.

Our model/Diamonback has a very soft cushioned back, it is not mesh. Both the seat and back rest are made of a soft leather type of material which has held up well. Hope this helps!

It does have a fin on the underside in the back. I sit very comfortably in it. That is the one feature I like the most. You can adjust the straps to pull the seat up straighter. Also, having the back fully inflated is important. My youngest did not inflate it enough and I had to stop and put more air in to sit in the boat better.

Yes there is a back zipper and a small velcro tab at the top of the zipper to stop the zipper opening on the neck. We find the wetsuit to be enough for our son when he is in the pool and he concentrates better because he is not shivering. The wet suit gives a little added buoyancy as well

Hi. The back of this one is hard plastic and curved upward for the small of your back (following the normal curvature of your spine). I like that, and find the flat padded backs on others not nearly as comfortable. The only drawback to this is that there is not a soft surface for the back of your head when using the machine. Would I buy this one again? You betcha.....and a bargain price with SUPER fast delivery from the company. Box arrived in good shape and simple to put together. Roger

the back does have some nonskid/rubberized material on it. I haven't yet had it come off, and it is not removable.

it should fit ok as most of the problem with the suit is the distance from shoulder t seat as this is unaturally short in my opinion. your height should fit this
