Collection: MX Body Protectors

Championship-Tested Motocross Body Protectors

Alpinestars® MX body protectors are engineered for the intensity of motocross, supercross, and off-road racing. The range spans roost deflectors, CE-certified chest and back protectors, integrated vests, and rib coverage that shield vital zones from debris and crash forces. Hard-shell plates combine with energy-absorbing foams to disperse impact while the ergonomic architecture preserves freedom of movement. Low-profile silhouettes integrate cleanly under or over a jersey so you can stay focused on throttle control, braking points, and traction.

Ventilation, Mobility, and All-Day Comfort

Heat management is essential from the first gate drop through the final lap. Extensive perforation, channelled airflow, and moisture-wicking liners help regulate temperature in hot and humid conditions. Articulated panels, soft-edge bindings, and flexible linkages promote natural motion over whoops and ruts. Adjustable shoulders and waist straps dial in stability so the protector remains centered when you are standing, seated, or weighting the outside peg.

Certified Impact Coverage and Modular Options

Select models carry EN 1621-3 for the chest and EN 1621-2 for the back in Level 1 or Level 2 ratings, indicating transmitted-force thresholds. Roost-focused shells may reference EN 14021 for stone deflection. Choose streamlined under-jersey armor for minimal bulk or hybrid hard-shell systems for extended coverage. Modular shoulder and side-rib panels let you scale protection for speed, terrain, and event format without compromising balance or bike feel.

Under-Jersey and Over-Jersey Integration

Designed for versatile setups, slim protectors slide beneath a jersey for a locked-in feel, while over-jersey roost deflectors maximize airflow and quick changes. Low collars, contoured shoulders, and thoughtful plate cutouts help maintain clearance for neck braces and hydration packs where applicable. Quick-release buckles and elasticated straps simplify on-the-fly adjustments and reduce lift at speed.

Durable Construction and System Pairing

High-impact polymers, abrasion-resistant shells, and robust stitching deliver durability through repeated motos and post-ride cleaning. Smooth inner surfaces reduce hot spots, while removable components streamline maintenance after muddy sessions. Build a complete MX system by pairing torso protection with certified MX helmets, track-ready MX boots, and complementary MX protection for head-to-toe coverage.

Ride with confidence backed by decades of competition-driven development. Alpinestars® MX body protectors combine advanced impact management, airflow, and precise adjustability so you can push your pace, maintain control, and stay protected from practice laps to the checkered flag.
