Chest protectors are an important piece in the safety puzzle, and Alpinestars has released a new version of this time-proven piece of riding gear, the A-10 Full Chest Protector.
With its revolutionary exoskeletal and contoured design the A-10 Full Chest Protector was designed with a host of improvements to increase its structural strength while reducing the amount of material in order to make it lighter and more comfortable ergonomically. Alpinestars also worked on the A-10’s air channelong to increase air flow through the unit.
