Alpinestars obviously have little to teach you when it comes to impact protection. The Italians are at home on the racing circuit and then you know the standard is high.
This lightweight back protector has a honeycomb structure and that means a lot of strength on the one hand, of course, but it also immediately leaves room for ventilation and breathability. Especially with this thorough CELLi technology, which focuses even more on the perfect balance between light and sturdy. In any case, it results in a flexible unit that easily adapts to your personal anatomy.
And of course you also want effective protection. On a micro level, materials that score well in terms of energy absorption have obviously been considered. As we said, Alpinestars and racing are connected.
Anyway, the design is one that is tailor-made for a back and spine, which ensures that even the basics are comfortable.
CE-approved, that goes without saying. Protectors are reusable, even after a fall, and can be easily washed off and maintained.
Should you not yet have the motorbike jacket or suit in your hands – because you are ordering it at the same time as the back protector – you will find a table below that links jacket size to protector size.
