Alpinestars Men's Bionic Pro Protection Jacket Protection Jacket (pack of 1)

Product Information

All integrated body protectors are CE-certified as protective motorcycle armor, unlike some competitors which only have some of their integrated body protectors CE-certified as protective motorcycle armor. In our second segment this week, Editor-at-Large Neale Bayly talks with master mechanic David Behrend. David’s amazing career has taken him all over the world as mechanic and Crew Chief for some of the greatest riders in Moto America, World Superbike, and Moto2. David is now Technical Director for Andreani Suspension USA; if you have suspension or handling questions—David is the guy to help! So, you’re looking for the best motocross armor and you specifically want an armored shirt that will work for both street-riding and off-road riding. It has to have it all at an affordable price.

I absolutely recommend that you go up by one alpha size from your stipulated alpha size in the size chart below. The elbow and forearm protection fit well. The myth that elbow protection can contribute to arm pump is just that—a complete myth. Moreover, with the clever cinch system, it’s completely adjustable, so even riders with Popeye-like forearms will have to look elsewhere for arm pump excuses.

TECH-AIR® 3

The elasticity and compression of the mesh fabric allows said fabric to let more air in when the fabric is stretched (i.e. when you’re wearing it), and you feel a continuous flow of air across your entire upper body even at low speeds. Epic venting performance that will reward you with continuous airflow and cooling even in the hottest of weather conditions.

All shells are constructed from a high performance polymeric material blend for optimized flexibility and excellent weight-saving properties. Starting with the elbow and shoulder protectors, these are CE-certified as Level 1 limb armor to the EN 1621-1:2012 standard, which is the corresponding EN Standard for motorcycle limb armor (i.e. elbows, shoulders, knees and hip protectors). All fastening straps work as designed and the fastening straps of the forearms and torso’s flanks help a lot in achieving a customized fit. In the first segment this week, Senior Editor Nic de Sena chats with Arthur Coldwells about KTM’s latest Super Duke 1290 GT. That’s the sport-touring version of the Super Duke R. The question is whether KTM overly detuned its fierce superbike, or whether even in touring mode, the heart of The Beast is still just as savage.The Leatt 5.5 body protector is an excellent choice of upper-body hard armor for any serious off-road riders and enduro riders. The level of upper body protection is unmatched. Not only is it CE-certified for impact absorption, but the protection stays in place while sliding across Mother Nature, facilitated by the stretch fit and built-in kidney belt. Likewise, the cupping of the elbow protectors is on point and does a great job of augmenting the protective qualities of said protectors.
