FAQs
This collection includes comprehensive motocross protection gear designed for off-road riding safety. You'll find chest protectors, back protectors, knee guards, elbow guards, neck braces, and body armor systems. Each piece is engineered with race-proven materials and construction to meet the demanding protection needs of motocross riders, from weekend enthusiasts to professional competitors.
Yes, Alpinestars motocross protection in this collection meets or exceeds relevant CE certification standards where applicable. Many pieces feature CE-certified armor inserts and impact protection zones that comply with European safety regulations. Specific certification levels vary by product type and intended use, ensuring you receive championship-validated protection backed by rigorous safety testing.
Most motocross protectors in this collection are designed to be worn over your base layers and under or over your jersey, depending on the product type. Chest protectors and body armor typically go over jerseys for maximum impact protection, while back protectors and some body armor systems can be worn underneath for a streamlined fit. Knee and elbow guards are designed to fit comfortably under MX pants and jerseys without restricting movement.
Proper fit is critical for motocross protection to function effectively. Measure your chest, waist, and relevant body dimensions, then consult the size chart specific to each product type. Protection should fit snugly without restricting breathing or movement—too loose and it won't stay in position during a crash, too tight and it limits mobility. Consider that some protectors are designed to be worn over jerseys while others fit underneath, which affects sizing. Youth riders should reference youth-specific sizing guides as proportions differ from adult gear.
Chest protectors and full body armor serve different protection needs in motocross:
| Feature | Chest Protectors | Body Armor |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage Area | Front chest and back | Chest, back, shoulders, elbows |
| Weight | Lighter, more ventilated | Heavier, comprehensive protection |
| Best For | Warmer conditions, experienced riders | Maximum protection, all conditions |
Both options use advanced impact-absorbing materials and ergonomic designs. Your choice depends on riding style, track conditions, and personal protection preferences. Many professional racers use full body armor for training and competition.
