Extremely comfortable fit that provides
CE level 1 impact protection
RIDER AN ALYSIS
If you are looking for a comfortable
CE-rated chest protector, the Alpinestars
Sequence is a great option. The soft bio
foam padding makes it comfortable with
or without an under layer. The flexible
design means that it will not dig into you,
but it still provides great impact protec-
tion on the back and front torso. The back
protector extends down a little further
than most alternative brands/models but
remains comfortable due to the flexible
design. The front wraps around the sides
to provide a little extra coverage for your
ribs and the straps use a double-sided
Velcro closure that stays latched.
If you wear a neck brace, the Sequence
protector has a removable upper back
puck and straps with silicon pull tabs to
hold the brace in place. It is designed to
fit with the Alpinestars Bionic Neck Sup-
port brace but does work well with the
Leatt Brace as well.
Although the Sequence includes perfo-
rated materials and strategically placed
ventilation holes, it does not provide as
much airflow as some more open plastic
protectors. And if you want full shoulder
impact coverage, you will need to look at
alternative models. But overall, it will be
difficult to find a more comfortable option
for most riding conditions that provides
CE-rated back and chest protection. CN
