One of the best thing I found to use as a kidney belt is a back support device like the ones used by warehouse workers to help support the back while lifting. They are made of a lighter material ,breathe better and are less expensive.

If your an off road rider it should be something you always use, I always did, however if your a street rider, unless you have an exstreamly bad back, why would you wear one. I’m over 70, have always had back issues, ride over 20k per year, have rode all my life and do not use one. I think a lot has to do with the seat and your position on the bike. I ride an FJR, ride up to 400 miles per day and lucky enough to not have issue in that regard.

I use a Fox dirt bike kidney belt for my touring and it feels great. I would higly recomend whenever your are riding for more of an hour or so.

I also ride with a kidney belt and find it adds support to the back. But for even more comfort, after the ride a couple of belts to the liver work well too.
