Hi, it’s a great review and I bought one after watching. It’s an outstanding vest protector and has saved me from injury a good few times now. I do trail riding with a little enduro sections and falling off seem to be my thing for the past few months. It’s a bit pricey but folks, it really has saved me some medical bills.

[@rmatvmc]

Thanks for the feedback, Barry! Glad to hear the video helped you make a decision. You'll have to give us an update after you get a lot of hours in it. Thanks! - Chase

Doesn't it feel hot when you ride?

[@Ladosligese]

i feel sad for you that you actually GET medical bills 😖

[@wafflebird1]

Hey Chase thanks for all the great reviews. We really appreciate these. I had the opportunity to see this set yesterday while at the Tampa Supercross. What a great set. If any of you are on the fence this set of gear is exceptional. There was a lot of thought that has gone into this and I will be putting one on my son pretty soon. It is a good bit of money but this set is really just top of the line. When you look at all the little details of it you can tell someone has pretty much thought of everything. As far as the one shoulder strap you could always leave them buckled and put it on over your head as an option (I think). Again your guys videos are really well done. Thanks,

[@rmatvmc]

Thanks, Bill. Glad these videos help you out! And yes, this is a well thought out piece from Astars. - Chase

[@si-li-om4751]

Looks great. Light, safe and convenient for tricks & stunts. And you can put on whatever you want.

[@fjsantana12]

You leave the top buckles on and you take both the bottoms ones out to put it on. Wayyy easier than to remove the sides

[@johnnywishbone1349]

I’m liking this more than the fox titan. Mainly because level 2 front and back plus the full front plate vs 2 separate plates. Shoulder armor looks better. I’m gonna be buying this for sure this summer. Love Alpinestars

Im pretty sure you can don it by leaving the shoulder straps clipped and sticking head through like roost deflector, zip, belt, side straps.

[@One_Mile_Up]

@Rocky Mountain ATV MC -- Just got this for riding slower dual-sport / enduro type stuff. My question is - what are folks wearing under this (if anything)? I find the material seems to "cut" into the inside of my elbow area when I bend my arms. Also cleaning this thing seems kinda like a P.I.T.A.! 😅

[@RandomGRK]

I'd think any good base layer. I wear my Klim stuff under my armor and its extremely comfortable.

[@mxfreaks]

I wish they had some foam padding in the rib area. Also giant hard plastic buckles over your collarbones doesnt seem like smartest idea. Brands are always missing the mark somewhere.

[@raceofrobots9152]

Looks like there is 2 pieces of padding running vertically from armpit. And the buckles are a fail in my book. Maybe they have to do that to retain the CE rating but I like the double velcro on some of their other units.

[@gophop]

Do you think collar bones are broken from direct impact?

[@mxfreaks]

@@gophop obviously Impact to your shoulder would be the #1 cause but my neck brace will be right on top of that buckle and then that buckle Right on top of my collarbone so best case scenario it irritates my collarbone and worst case breaks my collarbone once my head turns and puts force on the neck brace and then puts force on my collar bone. I think a lot of riders have broken their collarbone already and mine protrudes more than normal so maybe I'm just more sensitive then beginner riders that have never broken their collarbone?

[@gophop]

@@mxfreaks if you have a neck brace, you should go with the armor jacket from the same brand to get the best fit anyway.

[@btinaustin]

I wish the weight of these pieces was published. I'm on the fence between the A'star A-10, Bionic V2 jacket and the Leatt Hybrid body protector for trail riding/hare scrambles. All have pros and cons but knowing the weight of each piece might help make my decision.

[@saban_6r]

Great jacket, got it a couple of months ago and it has been great so far. For enduro the ventilation is great, it doesn't restrict your movement at all and speaking from experience it offers great protection in a crash. Definitely wouldn't replace it with anything else Could you please tell us the names of the gloves and pants in the video, my gloves are due for a replacement and I have been looking to get some riding pants as well. Recommendations are welcome but would like to stay in the Alpinestars family

[@TheChancho21]

Hi Chase. I ride a dualsport. I'm looking for some protection for my daily commute to work. No highway or freeway riding. I'm not wanting to wear a jacket in this summer weather. Average temp here in the summer is 105. In your opinion would something like this be okay to wear for a commute to work?

[@rmatvmc]

This would be a good option or the Bionic action jacket from Alpinestars. They won't give you as much abrasion protection as a good jacket, but they will still offer good protection. It might be worth checking out something like the Crosswind jacket. It's basically all mesh with CE rated armor in the back, shoulders and elbows. This protection jackets are a bit more work to get on and off, especially when you're sweaty. - Chase

[@miquelsalto31]

Which one you recommend this one or the leatt 3df hybrid for enduro/ trail riding ? I'm a tall person 1,94 Many thanks

[@rmatvmc]

I would probably choose this one. I like the chest protection a little more than the Leatt. - Chase

[@ZSmith-yy4lv]

To those it concerns: if you are hospitalized while wearing this, they will almost certainly need to cut it off. I am saying this because I had my suit cut off after a broken clavicle. I now use a roost guard and separate elbow pads that can be taken off the body without much arm movement to avoid that in the future, all without sacrificing protection. Other than that, these things are a convenient all-in-one protection package.

[@TommyNitro]

That is a great point to consider. Thanks for throwing that out.

[@MrDEANOSCOOLVIDS]

The 5.5 definitely has more coverage around the rib area. But the V2 is much more low profile. Personally, I would go with the Alpinestars. If you want, you can call in and order both at the same time and get setup with a return shipping label so you can send back the one you don't want - Chase

I agitate it face down and let it sit for 30 min, then flip it, agitate and let it sit for another 30 min. The amount of dirt that came off was shocking!

Hello Rocky Mountain team and community! I have this basic doubt about riding gear but can't find good information, can you help me? What about wearing a chest protector (As Alpinestar A6 or A10) riding a Big Trail in long distances (Example, Andes mountains 4000 miles, 80% on road, 20% off road). I'm trying to solve the problem of the heat in the desert, fresh jackets offer not enough protection and hard jackets (event with the vents open) are extremely hot. The solution could be wearing an A6 + Elbow guard (example), and alternate between 2 jackets according the climate (without the inside pocket protectors) . What do you think about it? Thanks a lot, sorry by the lil' english, I'm writing from Brazil. Tnx!

[@rmatvmc]

Hello! To answer your question, yes, you can wear a chest protector on your ride, however, chest protectors like the A6 or the A10 are not CE certified for abrasion. Abrasion protection is one thing that you give up by not wearing a good riding jacket.

This is a lawsuit waiting to happen. The chest protector DOES NOT stay in place, it moves up, WAY UP. As soon as you bend down and slightly forward (riding position on dirt bike) the chest protector comes up and jabs you right in the throat. The first time I bent down with this on I was shocked as I felt like someone karate chopped me right in my Adams apple. My throat still hurts 2 hours later as I'm writing this. I cannot imagine if I crashed and my head came forward, the chest protector could easily crush your windpipe. This should be pulled form the shelves immediately. Horrible design.

[@turre1949]

Care to elaborate on this issue? I'm really looking into this chest protector and I've tried in on in a shop. I can't see how the floating chest piece differs from any generic chest protectors (Like Leatt 3.5, Fox Raceframe etc) as they are all basically "floating". Combine any of those with a kidney belt (and an armored undershirt if we're being perfectionist) and you have essentially the same combo as what this Astars Bionic offers. I saw your comment about this matter on another similar video and I had to ask.

[@jesshuifry4342]

hummmm yes actually all these protections are "floating" and move. in fact what does guaranty the protections will be at the riht place when you fly and fall down? do researches go far enough? true for any jacket no? further protections do not wrap-up a body zone particularlly laterally where the injuries are worst. for instance on the photo we see clearly that the upper pectoral and the front deltoïd muscles are not protected in case of front schock with the mirror, screen or even the breaks. these muscles are part of the so critical shoulder! additionally protection do not add reinforcement to the body joints to avoid extreme extentions of them when impact is strong particularly in forest with tree branch. etc. etc. for all these reasons I stay sceptic... not enough studied?

[@JoshStreetDesign]

@@turre1949 No, they're not. The chest piece on this Alpine Stars is free to move independent of the base layer. It can literally move in any direction like 5 inches. When you bend down, the bottom is pressed up by your stomach and unfortunately it moves up, right into your throat. It's not illustrated in this video at all. My Leatt 4.5 chest protector is the best one I have tried, and I've tried a lot. It's the most comfortable, doesn't just into your arms or chest, and stays where it's supposed to. I wear that with a Moose Racing armour shirt with the chest and back plates removed so I have shoulder and elbow protection in conjunction with the leatt 4.5. I also tried the new full Leatt 6.5 body protector, which is better than this Alpine Stars and the chest piece is independent of the body armour layer, however I returned it as I already have the 4.5, and the moose armour option was my favorite and most comfortable without being too hot.
