The Alpinestars Bionic Action V3 Protection Jacket is a lightweight, low-profile, full upper-body armor rig designed to be worn under a jersey. Released as a major update to the off-road lineup, it completely updates the armored armor structure from solid plastic grids to Alpinestars’ flexible A-Morph Technology.
Key Updates: A-Morph Technology & Washability
The V3 introduces two major architectural upgrades over the older V2 version:
- A-Morph Tech Protection: Instead of rigid plastic plates, the armor plates feature highly flexible, cut-out geometries. This structural system dynamically conforms to the rider’s body movements while enhancing breathability and multi-impact energy absorption.
- Removable Liner Design: Unlike older generations where arm protectors were sewn directly into the mesh, the V3 features a completely modular tool-free snap-in/snap-out design. All the shoulder, elbow, chest, and back plates can be unclipped quickly, allowing you to drop the stretch fabric chassis straight into a washing machine.
Safety & Protection Certifications
The entire suit delivers a uniform tier of impact safety, carrying complete CE Level 1 certifications across all key strike areas:
- Chest Armor: Certified to EN 1621-3:2018 (Level 1) split-chest configuration.
- Back Protector: Certified to EN 1621-2:2014 (Level 1) with an extended tailbone section to stay securely tucked inside riding pants.
- Shoulder & Elbow Shields: Certified to EN 1621-1:2012 (Level 1), extending far down the forearm.
Chassis Construction & Ergonomics
- High-Airflow Stretch Mesh: The base chassis is made from a highly breathable elastane stretch mesh that minimizes heat buildup during strenuous motocross or trail riding sessions.
- Triple Securing System: Relies on an integrated adjustable elastic kidney belt, adjustable forearm V-straps to prevent elbow armor from twisting, and lateral body V-straps to cinch down the chest and back protector perfectly.
- Frontal Closure: Utilizes a central, auto-locking YKK zipper mechanism for seamless entry and removal.
