Excellent fit
Bought for my Grandson as he's starting to go out on the bike with his Dad.
Looks comfortable but still strong enough to protect
Uprated armour for new jacket.
Great feeling as so light and comfortable, you hardly notice it.
Happy so far, fits my small Alpinestar Bogota jacket. Not too heavy.
Easy to fit and good quality
Well made, very flexible and fits in my Alpinestars textile jacket perfectly
Perfect fit very unintrusive just what I wanted
Top service as always and very fast delivery from the Sportsbikeshop
This is an awesome addition to my motorcycle kit! The quality of the material is amazing! The team at SBS have provided a great service as always, thank you SBS team!
Purchased to fit inside my alpinestar textile jacket, fits perfectly, very lightweight and comfortable to the point you wouldn’t know it was there. Great price and fast delivery. Highly recommended.
Fits perfectly into Alpine stars leather jacket.
So I bought this product for my summer mesh jacket which is also alpine stars. Back of this mess jacket is basically completely see-through so I felt unsafe riding without some sort of protection. The jacket has a slot that this fits right into. Just double check the size so my jacket is a medium and it fitted the medium pad. But you can find the measurements for the pads on here and then just measure the opening inside your jacket. You can tell by feeling it that it would definitely protect you in a slide, but it's also very comfortable like it. Just flexes to your back. Very impressed with the alpine style stuff
Theis is a great piece of kit, well made and feels like it would actually provide protection if in a fall. Great delivery by Sportsbikeshop as always, my go to shop for biking.

Very comfy don’t really notice it’s in
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.
