How padded are the back wings? Will it help when I'm clenching my jaw really hard?

It can take a lot of pressure, that what it's made for!! I feel you will be pleased. I love this product! :)

It's not significant padding, but it's not thin either. There's virtually no way you'd be able to bite through it if that's your concern.

It's not super thick, but I clench my teeth pretty hard and it works for me. Basically what happened for me was after wearing it for a couple nights, my teeth started to leave imprints in the wings. At first I was worried that meant it wasn't durable and I would chew right through it. But I've been using it for over 6 months now and it's been great.

There is very good padding around the small zip pocket on the back, however, it should not be overstuffed, but it's good for a few important things like a phone or wallet. The straps are well built and sturdy and the clasp is nice, although I prefer to have it around the waist. Nevertheless, it does add support for your back. Oh yeah, the laptop area is also very well padded.

It's not super padded, but not hard plastic either. If you find it too hard, it would be easy to get a cushioned seat cover. I did find myself sore from the seat for the first few days, but if you use it consistently, you won't notice it for long.

It isn't padded but it does have plenty of storage. My son doesn't wear it on his back and has only used it for "rolling" since he has so many books. The shoulder straps are padded and the metal bar is covered so there shouldn't be an issue. I'm very happy with the purchase!

The padding is pretty good. If you can get the laptop to stay secure. The straps don't work all that well, so my laptop was just floating around in there, so I returned it.

The back (tushy area) is about a half inch shallower than the front. It is also a hard foam, it isn't very comfortable. We ended up cutting the foam off and replacing it with memory foam so she didn't hurt on long trips.

Padding is essential! I've replaced mine once since I bought it. It is really required for safety.

It may fit a 12 year old.I wear mine for a while in the morning when my jaw still feels tense.It's not for sports, jut for bruxism.

I have this case and think it is very well padded, but I would not travel on a plane without a hard case. It would get too much abuse in my opinion.

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

Have not had any problem with the back padding (actually helps to distribute the weight more evenly in the backpack). However we live in a drier climate and probably can not give a fair "review" of this feature. Overall it's an excellent backpack for the money.

It's very bumpy, sort of like soft pebbles. It's decently thick for the price. It's not what I would consider "padded" though

When you say "protected" do you mean padding? If so no that back has mesh/strap cover.

No, there's enough padding to prevent anything from poking. Both my kids loved the bjorn and we never had any problems with it.

I think it may be too big. It even feels big for my mouth and I am 50. Perhaps you can check the over the counter mouthguards they sell for young athletes. Good luck.

The padding is nice but not very thick. It would not take long before it feels like a hard surface while sitting on it for a short period of time. But my answer of course is subjective.

the rear clamping jaw might be reversed. If oriented correctly, the jaw will close and hold something paper thin. If it is reversed, you just have to slide it off, flip it around and then you can close it tighter.
