Alpinestars
The Bionic Tech V3 Protection Jacket features ultra-lightweight, 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 and soft side wings in combination with 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. With an easy-on-off design, the removable chest protector features a magnetic, quick release lock 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.

Construction
The incorporation of race-proven breathable and stretchable textiles in the construction of the base layer represents a breakthrough in athletic apparel engineering. By leveraging materials with a track record of success in competitive racing, this design ensures a perfect synergy of breathability and flexibility. The base layer goes a step further with a super-ventilated design, strategically channeling direct heat build-up away from the chest. This innovative ventilation system not only enhances overall comfort during physical exertion but also plays a crucial role in temperature regulation. The result is a performance-oriented base layer that not only adapts to the dynamic movements of athletes but also optimizes airflow to keep the body cool, making it an essential component for those pushing the limits of their
