Collection: MX Body Protectors

Motocross Body Protectors Built for Performance

Alpinestars® MX body protectors deliver the chest, back, and shoulder coverage riders need for motocross, supercross, and off-road practice. This collection spans lightweight roost deflectors for maximum airflow through to CE-certified impact armor designed for higher energy attenuation. Every piece prioritizes stability at race pace, low bulk for mobility, and durable materials that stand up to debris, repeated hits, and long motos on demanding tracks and trails.

Impact Technology and Ventilation

Across the range you will find hard-shell plates over key zones, energy-absorbing foam compounds, and articulated back panels that flex naturally with body movement. Strategic perforation patterns and internal air channels help move heat away from the torso, while smooth edges and low-profile buckles reduce snagging under a jersey or hydration pack. Many models incorporate CE-certified components where applicable, offering dependable impact performance without compromising breathability or comfort.

Fit, Adjustability, and Compatibility

Ergonomic chassis shaping, adjustable shoulder straps, and elasticated waist systems allow precise tuning for different body types and base layers. Low-profile collars and modular shoulders improve compatibility with neck braces, and streamlined back plates accommodate hydration packs with minimal pressure points. Wear under or over a jersey according to your preference; the goal is a centered protector that stays put in riding position without restricting arm or head movement.

Choose the Right Coverage

Select the coverage that matches your speed, terrain, and conditions. Ventilated roost deflectors prioritize cooling for hot days and softer tracks. Chest-and-back combinations add impact management for faster circuits and rougher sections. Full-torso solutions with extended rib and shoulder coverage suit aggressive riding or technical courses. Youth-specific fits are available, and sizing should be based on chest circumference and torso length for consistent coverage.

Build a Complete MX Protection System

Maximize safety and comfort by pairing your body protector with complementary equipment. Combine with certified MX helmets for head protection, choose supportive motocross boots to stabilize ankles and feet, and add tactile MX gloves for confident bar control. Aligning gear helps maintain ventilation pathways, consistent coverage, and a stable fit across the entire kit.

Explore MX Body Protectors to find the balance of impact attenuation, ventilation, and mobility that fits your riding style. With race-informed design and proven materials, Alpinestars® equipment is engineered to help you focus on lines, traction, and lap times while your protection works reliably in the background.
