Is the Alpinestars Bionic Protection worth it?

[Redryda205]

I was wondering if this is worth purchasing?



As a newbie is this gear really worth it because I am curious?

How are you supposed to use it? Just wearing it by itself or under a jacket? You can't beat leather for abasion resistance. What gear do you have so far?

[Redryda205]

This is what I have ordered so far.

I was just wondering if the Bionic suit would work under like a leather motorcycle jacket without the pads.

This is my gear so far

If the jacket has no armor , it'd be good to get some . Some pants have pouches for it , but don't include it .
Not sure if many jackets do that . I know a dude who uses something similar , but has yet to test it I'd say it's better than NO armor , though . But you'd have to make sure it'd all fit under the jacket .
Nice choice on gloves , BTW . Then look SOLID .

Usually a jacket with armor has the same padding and protection.
So I would not remove the armor in the jacket for the bionic suit.

That said it is a good idea though if you wear anything other then a motorcycle jacket with no armor, just as I wear Shift shin kness pads under my riding pants because they don't have any padding or armor

The jacket has the protection pads under it. What are some good pants to get?

The leather jacket with armor is all you need. You wouldn't be able to get that Bionic on under your leather Joe Rocket jacket.
