Is this the 2010 version? The picture doesn't show the adjustable shoulder straps, could you describe them? Could you upload pictures or describe the cervical top and coccyx bottom plates?

Joe- This is indeed the 2010 version; I used it all winter long and it is the most comfortable back protector I've ever used. It is soft when worn even in cold temperatures, due to the heat from the body. This makes it bend and flex with your body's motion as you shred hard on the slopes. There are no adjustable shoulder straps, so a proper fit is needed. I am about 5'9" and 175lbs, and I use the medium sizing. I don't think there are any cervical or coccyx plates available with this specific POC protector. Check out the Spine Ergo BUG for something that would be more easily modified to that aim.
