Welcome 😊

Yes, the lowe back sticks out. However, that needs to go inside your motorcycle pants. I wear over the pant motorcycle pants and this goes inside it, you connect your jacket with the pants using the zipper. I wanted to go with Tech Air 5 but sending it back every few years or per mileage driven, the cost was about $150, look into fine print. Hence I hesitated to buy it, but when 7x came out and it's self service like Helite, so I jumped on it right away.
