Description

Engineered for road riders, the Nucleon PLASMA Back Protector Insert is Alpinestars’ advanced back protector insert for motorcyclists. Extremely lightweight, the Nucleon PLASMA Back Protector Insert features Alpinestars’ Nucleon PLASMA technology: a viscoelastic, impact-absorbing material whose design delivers high levels of adaptability, breathability, and ventilation. Backed with a soft-touch textile coating, this ultra-adaptive back protector delivers the optimum balance of force dispersion, flexibility, and comfort. The insert’s ultra-adaptive geometry compresses and extends to fit, improving coverage, airflow, and all-day comfort when inserted into the back protector pocket of Alpinestars-compatible motorcycle jackets and suits.

Key Features

• Advanced Impact Protection: Nucleon PLASMA is engineered with a viscoelastic material that absorbs and dissipates impact forces while remaining flexible.
• Enhanced Fit: Alpinestars’ PLASMA and high-performance polyurethane combine to deliver superb adaptability for an enhanced performance fit.
• Premium Ventilation and Comfort: Highly ventilated for superior airflow and breathability featuring an extensive number of lateral and longitudinal ventilation channels for effective heat dissipation. with a soft-touch liner on the inner side for optimum rider comfort.
• Optimized Freedom of Movement: Engineered for a balance of protection and mobility, allowing unrestricted motion during rides.
• Advanced Technology: 60 years of innovation and extensive testing and research have resulted in the development of Alpinestars' PLASMA Technology; the perfect balance between impact force absorption, density, thickness, and pliability.
• Innovative Design : The adoption of Nucleon PLASMA Technology allows Alpinestars to tailor the geometry throughout the protector, resulting in extensive perforations while still exceeding the impact performance requirements of the CE Standards.
• Ultra-Adaptive Fit: The Nucleon PLASMA Full Back Protector Insert’s innovative design allows the protector to compress and extend on itself which delivers an ultra-adaptive fit for superior rider comfort.

Protection

• According to European statutory law the CE mark is a conformity requirement for the marketing of this product.
• The following standards apply to this product: Back Protector: Category II EN 1621-2:2014 Level 2
• Level 2 CE certified.

Construction

• The Nucleon PLASMA Back Protector is constructed from a bio-based viscoelastic impact-absorbing compound, with no less than 25% bio-based content and molded into a precision-engineered geometry. While the PLASMA material dissipates impact energy and significantly reduces transmitted forces through controlled material response, the low-profile PLASMA geometry is specifically developed to compress and extend with movement while supporting airflow through its channeled and highly-perforated design.
• The lightweight back protector insert is available in three waist-to-shoulder lengths to fit a wide range of body sizes.
