ALPINESTARS Bionic Tech V3 Protection Jacket, Black/White/Red, Small, SKU 482-6448S

The Bionic Tech V3 Protection Jacket features ultralight weight, detachable floating Level 2 CE and UKCA Certified Polyhedron Hybrid Technology chest and back protectors and Level 2 Nucleon Flex Pro shoulder and elbow protectors embedded in a highly breathable, race-proven stretch mesh base layer, to offer riders unsurpassed levels of ventilation and superior upper body protection against impacts. Both the dual-zone chest and back protectors have a rigid central zone with a flexible soft compound around the perimeter and are backed by a soft bio-foam padding. On the chest protector, the flexible soft surround and the bio -foam padding works as an adaptive system that molds to the chest. The central zone of the chest and back protectors directly behind the highly perforated impact grid are completely open to allow for maximum ventilation. The chest and back protectors are securely held in place via adjustable shoulder straps. For ease of putting on and off, the removable chest protector features a quick release-lock magnetic buckle on the left shoulder while the lower securement is actioned via the adjustable V-belts which run through the ventilated rib guards. The V shape spreads the tightening force over a wider area of the back protector, resulting in a more secure and comfortable fit. The rib guards offer additional coverage in critical areas.

The ALPINESTARS Bionic Tech V3 Protection Jacket, SKU 482-6448S, combines a breathable, race-proven stretch mesh base layer with lightweight, detachable Level 2 chest and back protectors. Its Polyhedron Hybrid Technology chest and back protectors feature rigid central zones, flexible soft-compound perimeters, and soft bio-foam backing for adaptable impact protection and comfort.

Level 2 Nucleon Flex Pro shoulder and elbow protectors provide additional upper-body coverage, while the highly perforated protector structures and ventilated design help channel heat away from the chest. Floating chest and back protectors, ventilated rib guards, and strategically placed EVA foam padding on the upper arms and chest contribute to coverage in critical areas and improved roost defense.

The jacket includes adjustable shoulder straps, adaptive V-straps on the back protector, and lower forearm V-straps to help customize the fit and maintain secure protector positioning. A quick-release magnetic buckle on the left shoulder provides access to the central zipper, while the chest and back protectors can be detached from the base layer for easier washing. The jacket is also BNS compatible through its removable puck panel and elasticated BNS pull tabs.
