The Bionic LT protection vest from Alpinestars has been designed for all types of off-road riding, providing impact protection without compromising movement. It’s made from four-way stretch viscoelastic material, which ensures that the CE level 1 Nucleon chest and back protectors are kept close to the body to dissipate impact energy, and there is extra Plasma padding around the collarbone and abdominal areas to add more protection. It comes in sizes S to XXL for an SRP of £179.99.
Also in the range is the Bionic LT “short sleeve jacket”, which is really more of a T-shirt format. It mirrors the vest for most of its specification, but adds in some Nucleon CE level 1 shoulder armour and height adjustment for the back protector. SRP is £199.99.
