Cant even tell its there
High safety rating and lightweight
Fits perfect, sized for a reason so ensure you buy the correct size for the jacket
Look, if you buy a jacket without a back protector, then get one of these.
Fits nicely into my jacket and feels soft enough to ride comfortably but also robust enough to do the job it was designed to do.
Get one, you won't regret it and you will thank me, god forbid, should the worst happen.
Perfect fit for Alpinestars jackets, not too chunky and quite flexible
Liked the fit
This size L armour is the perfect fit for the Alpinestars halo jacket size XL. Good coverage but obviously doesn’t extend to coccyx but found I wasn’t wearing my separate back protector anyways. Bendy but breathable
Great product
It’s a back protector - fits easily and does the job. 10/10
Perfect fit into my alpinestars bogota jacket. It's really comfortable and flexible for a level 2 protector.
Good bit of kit that comfortable
The Alpinestars Nucleon Plasma Back Protector is incredibly comfortable and offers excellent protection without feeling bulky. It fits perfectly under my jacket and moves naturally with my body, making it easy to wear even on long rides. For the quality and safety it provides, it’s a fantastic value. Highly recommended for any rider looking for top-tier comfort and peace of mind!
Good item
Fits perfectly in my jacket. Good quality
Perfect fit , feels like its hardly there
This is definitely made from good material and feels like it could withstand the impact. It's flexible enough to get used to it and slots in perfectly with all 3 of my alphinestars jackets.
Fitted jacket well and quickly. Comfortable to wear did not know it was there
Hi quality very comfortable back protection that doesn’t make you hot and sweaty, moulds nicely to your shape and fits perfectly in my Alpinestars hoodie.
Great service from sportsbikeshop as ever.
