Review on πŸ§₯ Alpinestars Bionic Tech V2 Protection Jacket Black/Red Lg – Reliable & Versatile Multi-Size Unisex-Adult Gear by Jason Yancy

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Potentially dangerous

Litigation pending. The floating chest protector does NOT stay in place, it rises UP A LOT. As soon as you lean forward and slightly forward (off-road riding position), the chest protector rises and dips right into your throat. The first time I bent over with it, I was shocked to feel like someone had punched me right in the Adam's apple in karate. I can't imagine that the chest protector could easily squeeze your windpipe in a fall with my head forward. If this was designed so that the chest and back protector could be removed it would be a much better option. Another thing I didn't like is that the back protector goes way down to the lower back so it gets caught on the pants. Standing straight is resting on your back, a little uncomfortable. The arms and shoulder looked like they were great protected, but for the reasons above I had to return them. I can't risk choking on my chest armor.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other picks
