Alpinestars motorcycle jacket with back protector
One of the big questions when buying a motorcycle jacket is to know whether you can install a back protector. For this, it’s essential to properly check the product file to see whether the Alpinestars motorcycle jacket you’re looking at has the preinstallation for it.
If you have the jacket in your hand, check whether there’s a pocket for placing it inside. If you don’t physically have it, a good way is to check our product files. If it’s compatible, you’ll see it specified.
For this list we’ve selected 4 motorcycle jackets with back protectors that are very different to each other: the Alpinestars Atem V4 jacket, the Alpinestars Valparaiso V3 Drystar, the Alpinestars T-SPS Waterproof and the Alpinestars Sektor V2. Let’s analyse them one at a time:
Alpinestars Atem V4 motorcycle jacket, the super sports
Starting this list with the best Alpinestars sports motorcycle jacket, the Alpinestars Atem V4. This is, as its name indicates, the third generation of Alpinestars best sports motorcycle jacket.
Like a good racing jacket, the materials as well as the protections are the best of the best, The main material is 1.3mm thick cowhide (super abrasion resistant in the event of a fall), and it has stretch panels made of highly resistant HRSF for maximum comfort on the motorcycle. Something to bear in mind when we’re giving our all.
As for the protections, it has removable Alpinestars Nucleon Flex Plus protections on the shoulders and elbows, as well as external sliders on the shoulders and elbows. Also, we can increase this protection with a chest protector and another back protector Nucleon KR-R (the brand’s best), which are not included.
This is one of the best sports motorcycle jackets that you can currently buy. It’s available in various different colour combinations.
Alpinestars Valparaiso V3 Drystar touring-adventure motorcycle jacket, for your travels
Let’s radically change segment as the Alpinestars Valparaiso V3 Drystar is another superb option for traveling or for trips on your motorcycle. It’s a different concept to the Atem V4.
In this case we have a very polyvalent jacket, technical and comfortable with a removable Drystar waterproof membrane. Similarly, the thermal lining is also detachable and it has some apertures for those hot days. That is to say that this is a 4 season, all year round Alpinestars jacket.
As regards the protections, we have soft protections on the elbows and shoulders with level 2 certification, and with a compartment on the chest and back for increasing the protection.
