Alpinestars has little to learn when it comes to impact protection. The Italians are at home on the race track and you know that their standards are high.
This lightweight back protector has a lattice structure and that means a lot of strength, but it also leaves room for ventilation and breathability. The result is a relatively flexible whole, which easily adapts to your personal anatomy. And flexibility is one thing, of course you also want effective protection. At micro level, obviously materials that score well in terms of energy absorption have been considered. We said it: Alpinestars and racing, they are interwoven.
Anyway, the design is one that is tailored to back and spine, which ensures that even in the base there is the necessary comfort.
CE-approved, goes without saying.
Protectors are reusable, even after a fall, and can be easily washed and maintained.
