Alpinestars

Comp Pro Top

With protection for your legs, arms, and head, you have most of your body taken care of already, and if shielding those parts is important, why wouldn't you offer your spine, shoulders, and guts the same courtesy? Alpinestars' Comp Pro Top is the finishing touch to your full-on suit of riding armor, with loads of flexible but firm foam padding that gives you the courage to send it without worrying that you'll ruin yourself if things don't quite work out.

The Comp Pro offers full chest, back, shoulder, and kidney protection, but it doesn't use the hard plastic common to most impact jackets. By opting instead for thick 8mm impact foam, Alpinestars was able to offer up serious protection that doesn't compromise mobility, so you don't feel like you're riding in a straightjacket or under a heavy load of football pads. The shoulder, back, and chest pads are all removable, so you can wash the moisture-wicking mesh and Lycra shirt that lies against your skin, and the wide kidney belt helps support your core in an impact without squeezing your guts while you're riding.
