Construction

Nucleon PLASMA back protector
The Nucleon PLASMA element in the back protector is constructed from a bio-based viscoelastic impact-absorbing compound containing no less than 25% bio-based content and molded into a precision-engineered geometry. The PLASMA material dissipates impact energy and significantly reduces transmitted forces through controlled material response. Its low-profile geometry compresses and extends with movement, while its channeled, highly perforated design maximizes airflow and cooling ventilation.

Perforated polymeric chest shells
The chest protector plastic shells are constructed from a high-performance polymeric material blend for optimized flexibility and excellent weight-saving properties, with extensive, strategically positioned perforation zones for excellent breathability and ventilation.

Adjustable quick-release waist system
The adjustable quick-release waist system provides a customized fit and keeps the protection secure and close to the body.

Articulated front plate
The articulated front plate provides maximum freedom of movement.

Flexible front side wings
The flexible front side wings move independently and adapt to the natural contours of the body.

Thermoformed padded chassis
The lightweight protector incorporates a thermoformed padded chassis, padded side wings, and Soft-touch 3D mesh on the skin-side of the back protector for optimal rider comfort, while its design offers high levels of breathability and airflow.

Alpinestars Nucleon Plasma Protector, Red Perforated Flexible Armor for MTB Impact Protection and Breathability.

Breathability

The innovative structural design allows the protector to be slim and to have a high level of breathability, as well as flexibility, due to the high percentage of perforation attributed to the "M" shaped design.

Comfort

The inner side of certain protectors are laminated with a smooth fabric which provides a soft and comfortable feeling. The fabric adds durability and prevents possible tearing of the viscoelastic material.

Adaptive

The compound, combined with the 3D engineered structure, provides a very flexible and adaptive platform. The "M-shaped" structural design maximizes the area of protection while at the same time provides superior adaptivity.
