Alpinestars road protection gear includes a comprehensive range of safety equipment designed for street and sport riding. This collection features CE-certified armor for shoulders, elbows, knees, and back protection, as well as chest protectors and full-body armor solutions. Many items are compatible with Alpinestars jackets and pants, while standalone options provide flexibility for riders who want to upgrade their existing gear.

Advanced options include Tech-Air® electronic airbag systems, which offer world-leading impact protection through AI-powered crash detection technology. All protection in this collection meets or exceeds FIA and CE safety standards, ensuring race-proven performance for street riders.

Road riding protection is classified by CE certification levels, with Level 1 offering basic impact protection and Level 2 providing enhanced energy absorption for higher-risk riding. Sport riders and those frequently riding at higher speeds typically benefit from Level 2 armor, while urban and casual riders may find Level 1 adequate for their needs.

Consider your riding style, speed, and environment when selecting armor. Track riders and aggressive sport riders should prioritize maximum protection with Level 2 CE-certified armor or Tech-Air® airbag systems, while commuters and touring riders can balance protection with comfort based on their specific requirements.

Most Alpinestars road protection products are designed with universal compatibility in mind, fitting into standard armor pockets found in quality motorcycle jackets and pants. CE-certified armor inserts follow standardized sizing dimensions, making them compatible with most brands that accept aftermarket protection.

However, Tech-Air® electronic airbag systems require compatible Alpinestars garments specifically designed to integrate with the technology. Always check product specifications for compatibility requirements, and note that optimal fit and protection performance are achieved when using Alpinestars protection with Alpinestars riding gear.

Soft armor uses flexible, impact-absorbing materials that conform to your body for comfort during normal riding while hardening upon impact to dissipate energy. These CE-certified protectors offer excellent mobility and are ideal for jackets, pants, and areas requiring flexibility like elbows and knees.

Hard shell protection features rigid outer shells that distribute impact forces across a larger surface area, providing maximum protection for high-impact zones like chest, back, and shoulders. This type is preferred for track riding and aggressive sport riding where impact forces are highest. Many riders combine both types, using hard shell protection for the torso and soft armor for joints.

Replace any protective armor immediately after a significant impact, even if no visible damage is apparent, as the internal structure may be compromised. CE-certified armor that has absorbed impact energy cannot guarantee the same level of protection in subsequent crashes.

For armor that hasn't experienced impact, inspect regularly for signs of deterioration such as cracking, hardening, or loss of flexibility. Most manufacturers recommend replacement every 3-5 years depending on usage frequency and storage conditions. Tech-Air® systems include diagnostic capabilities and should be serviced according to manufacturer guidelines, with replaceable components available after deployment.
