Alpinestars back protector uncomfortable

Yeah, the should straps pull right out, you don't need to cut them off.

Save the straps in case you want to wear a chest protector.  I have the same back protector and use a Knox chest protector.  It fits sweet on the shoulder straps..02

I have a the Bohn Pro Racer.  I like it.  It used to ride up on me as well.  My jacket had a crappy foam back protector in it.  I took it out and now the spine protector doesn't ride up and it doesn't feel bulky.
