Stylish & Protective

Can’t really go wrong with alpinestars, top of their game. The V2 Hoodie fits perfectly. Looks like a normal hoodie but with some shoulder and elbow protection. Would definitely recommend for someone wanting a ‘casual’ but safe gear

Comfortable, Stylish Protection

Made from soft material so is very comfortable to wear even with the armour in the elbows and shoulders. Hood stays nice and stable even at high speeds. Very pleased with this purchase

Feels expensive.

I like the quality and it looks good. It’s not really windproof which I expected it to be but other than that it’s great, and on the hot days it’s perfect. Lots of pockets.

Description
Designed for urban riding and commuting, the lightweight Chrome v2 Sport Hoodie offers excellent abrasion resistance thanks to the aramidic reinforcements on the shoulders and elbows, in a casual package that looks great, on and off the bike. It is also equipped with Nucleon Flex Plus protectors on the shoulders and elbows for superior impact protection.
The Chrome v2 Sport Hoodie features an evolved fit designed for a modern athletic silhouette, while still maintaining enhanced levels of comfort and fit. Optimized for comfort and freedom of movement without sacrificing style or performance. Equipped with functional features including a cordless hood with a snap collar button to tighten the hood securely around the neck while riding, providing added protection from the elements. The back snap hood connection keeps the hood stable when not in use, preventing it from flapping in the wind during a ride.
