PRODUCT REVIEW I
ALPINESTARS SEQUENCE
C
hest protectors have changed dramati-
cally in recent years. If you look back into
the '80's, '90's and even 2000's, it was
common for riders, even professional racers,
to wear chest protectors over the top of their
jerseys. And most of those "chest protectors"
then and now are plastic "roost deflectors" that
don't provide much impact protection. Now, a
lot more riders wear thinner, but more protec-
tive chest protectors under their jerseys. This is
true even for many professional riders. In FIM
motocross, riders are required to wear CE Level
1 back protectors, and this has pushed many
of the gear companies to develop lightweight,
comfortable options that provide good impact
protection. Alpinestars has several options and
we have a couple of CN staff that have made
the A Stars Sequence Chest Protector a must-
use item for every moto or off-road ride (and
even use it on adventure and street bikes).
The Sequences
chest protector also
offers extended
back protection.
