Can anyone comment on good back protectors. My Joe Rocket "Military Spec" armored jacket has a pad over the back area, but I believe I want something more substantial that will protect my spine all the way down to my butt crack. I think the Forcefield Sub 4 might be one option.

Also, what other gear might I want to consider? Need something for my knees... I'm a runner and really want to protect my legs in the event of a crash.
Are the inflatable vests worth the $$? What would be a good replacement for denim jeans?
Just trying to gear up for the fall... have spent a lot of cash on a new bike, and believe it would be wise to invest in suitable protective gear above and beyond what I already own (helmet, gloves that I personally believe are too thin, and a Joe Rocket armored jacket that may or may not be adequate in an accident--has no real padding for elbows, etc., just plastic to protect against scrapes.)
