From what I can decipher, it sounds like it's a classic case of poor posture. The reason I say this is because I also suffer the same, and in fact am in a certain level of pain every single day as a result of not listening to my parents when they told me not to slouch. That's  for you. I now have to consioucly remember to sit in a particular "correct" position to stop it getting worse.
Some back exercises will really help, try lying face down on the floor, put your hands on your head and lift and hold your chin 6 inches up. This simple exercise works wonders for me.
Unfortunately there isn't something you can "wear" (aside from maybe a compression jacket with a steel rod up the back!); you just need to improve your posture when sitting and riding.
Hope that helps.
Edit: Although it feels fine when you slouch, DON'T. You're only making it worse in the long term! |

surely a back protector will do quite a similar job?

Erm, no. A back protector is designed to curve with your spine as you bend, it won't correct posture like that support will.

A plank of wood with a shed load of bungees would sort your posture out, too.

it may not fully support, but will provide some resistance to slouching surely? |
I very much doubt it, bad posture, especially in the back can cause the muscles and eventually the bones of the spine to change shape. Once they have done this it is often more comfortable to slouch than to remain upright.
That sort of surgical support is elasticated and has a rigind centre section, a back protector is non-rigid and will follow the existing curvature of your back.
Cheers
