Hey! I'm about to buy my first bike (300L) and plan to do both on and off road rides this summer. I'm unsure if I should go for a mesh style jacket as even though they are great in higher temperatures im worried about abrasion resistance in the case of a crash on asphalt. What style of jacket would provide good on and off road protection while keeping temperatures low? If i was to buy a lightweight jacket and run body armour underneath which peices of armour would you recommend? Apologies for the essay, cheers.

[@MxstoreAustralia]

Hey mate, it is pretty hard to hit all of those points in one piece of armour, it will also be heavily swayed by your budget. However, if riding on road, as you said abrasion resistence is incredibly important. The alpinestars Halo Drystar is a great adventure jacket with lots of venting and the outer sleeve layer is removable so the jacket can be worn with mesh/armour only from the shoulder down. The bionic armour is definitely more suited to offroad riding, giving great protection but the mesh wouldn't hold up in an on road crash. You can get tech-air vests and integrate them into your 'tech-air ready' jacket for the highest level of protection. This answer may give you more questions, they're all points to think about when it comes to what you want out of your armour for your riding demands.

Can the bionic v2 or v3 be used for on road applications if so would it still be protective falling onto pavement roads?

[@MxstoreAustralia]

We wouldn't recommend it for on road applications as a top layer, the material wouldn't hold up with a highspeed crash, you could wear it under your jacket for impact protection but it would get pretty hot!

What is the differrence between the Bionic tech v2 vs the v3? Looking to get it for mx riding and daily commuting

[@MxstoreAustralia]

We haven't reviewed the V3 just yet but the Bionic Tech V3 provides even greater coverage than the Bionic Tech V2, across the upper back and the armour also wraps around the ribs 🙌🏼 It would be a personal preference on the amount of protection you are looking for!

[@AbhishekThakurTiTo]

Hi , which is better bionic pro v2 OR bionic plus v2

[@MxstoreAustralia]

We haven't reviewed the Bionic Pro just yet as it's only recently been released. However it's ce level 1 chest, level 2 back, shoulder, and elbows, bionic plus v2 is level 1 elbow and shoulders, level 2 back and chest 💪🏼We'll let you know more when we get our hands on it!

[@AbhishekThakurTiTo]

@@MxstoreAustralia my bad, I meant bionic tech v2 Or bionic plus v2

[@MxstoreAustralia]

@@AbhishekThakurTiTo A level 2 protect is going to offer a higher level of impact protection than a level 1 protector (meaning it transmits less force). Bionic tech now has a V3 which is the most protective of the three with CE level 2 shoulder, elbow, back, and chest protection. The bionic tech v2 has of course been superseded but if you can get your hands on one it's still a good armour, level 2 chest and back plus level 1, the bionic plus v2 offers a similar level of protection, the main differences will come in the construction of the armour, there is also some extra padded protection in the bionic tech v2 which you may or may not like 🙌🏼

[@AbhishekThakurTiTo]

@@MxstoreAustralia thank you for this detailed feedback

[@RC.56]

Bionic tech V3? You had not mentioned this, how is it different from V2?

[@MxstoreAustralia]

The Bionic Tech V3 provides even greater coverage than the Bionic Tech V2, across the upper back and the armour also wraps around the ribs. Alpinestars Nucleon Flex armour is used on the V3 in the shoulders and elbows which provides more comfort and mobility whilst still being a level 2 impact protector!

[@RC.56]

Thank you for the reply, is it still pretty slim? Meant to wear under jersey? Is the bionic pro v2 any good?

[@MxstoreAustralia]

It can be worn under the jersey if your jersey is sized accordingly, but it is on the bulkier side just due to the high level of protection it provides, though the Nucleon Flex armour is slimmer through the shoulders and elbows than some alternatives. Sorry, are you referring to the Bionic Tech V2 or Bionic Plus V2, or another armour?

[@Flip2theOzz]

Why the weight is not mentioned on their website is a question to me...

[@MxstoreAustralia]

We can definitely add this, if you reach out to our Customer Service Team, we can get them weighed and updated on the site 🙌🏼
