Alpinestars 6700523-1431-M/L: A-10 V2 Full Chest Protector Anthracite/Black/Red Md/Lg

M/L (5 ' 7", bigger arms and kinda shoulders but fairly skinny, 30 waist)Higher quality than any evs stuff I've bought, arms luckily are just big enough for me and the attachment points are very good. Super adjustable and the inner web makes you not feel the outer shell. Rib protection feels good, I'm only on the 2nd adjustment out of the 4. Bought since the reviews for leatt attachment points were iffy

This armor is truly well built. It fits great and I feel truly protected when I use my e-mountain bike. The attachments are smart and easy to remove or set on. At first I was skeptical about wearing such piece of equipment, now I can’t imagine doing fast down hills without it. When I go up hill I simply unhook the front plate so ventilation is increased, re-hooking it is easy and quick, no need to even stop the bike. Excellent item.

I've ridden EUC for 5 plus years. I had Alpinestars Bionic Chest Protector. Upgraded to A10 v1 (Large), used for 3 years. Just received A10v2 XX-Large (2 day delivery). According to Alpinestars Size Chart, I fit into M/L and XL. But the M/L are in short supply (7 day delivery) and XL are not made. The XX-Large fit perfect and snug for me (42" chest, 200 lbs, 5'11"). The A10v1 was great. I thought I was going to upgrade to Fox Airframe Pro for the solid rib protection, but reviewers said it was too bulky and stiff. My next option was the Leatt 6.5 Pro, CE 2 all around except for the shoulders CE1 and rib protection is not as good as A10 (hard plastic). Knowing I have hit my shoulders several times, I need CE2. Came back full circle, A10v2 was the option that check all the boxes for me.Ok, A10v1 is a great chest protector. It has proven to me over several crashes. The difference between v1 and v2 are small details. There are no gaps between hard plastic and foam, and the chest protector is more form fitting to your body on the v2 (slightly better fitment). It is a more refined product and I feel both has the same level of protection. I'm happy with the upgrade.Update: After using it for 4 months, I decided to cut the tags. XXL is the same as XL (see pic). I wish the product descriptions are more informative. I got annoyed with the white logo and painted it with an oil-based paint pen. Overall still happy with my A10v2

This product is amazing as it held up very well in a 60mph slide. As you can see there are only slide marks and no breaks and I have 0 injuries in the chest and shoulder. Very well made, I recommend this to anyone looking for chest armor.

Seems beefy enough, yet I took a handlebar to the mid chest at 10-15mph when I hit a 5 inch tree, and fractured a rib. Could have been much worse.No evidence of plastic damage to the chest guard.Will continue to use it…seems ok. I like the extra lower side rib protection.

Got in a bad crash >> should’ve been with the lord rn but no im here, anyways>> i had this vest on and thankfully i got no back injuries or severe chest injuries; doctor did find a bruise in my lung but it healed. This vest really protected me! I would’ve definitely been in worse conditions if i cheaped out and bought those cardboard vest that everyone else be wearing. Sadly, this vest didnt came with elbow protection soooo yeah metal elbow :) . As a rider i say this, vest are cool but get a jacket with chest protection instead OR if you really want a vest, get one as good as this one but with elbow protection 👌🏾

The item was received today and sadly there is a missing part that allows you to latch on the armour to your body it’s suppose to be 2 but when I unboxed the package saw only one for the main armour jacket .I cannot use it as a consequence except the other piece is sent to me so it can allow for wearing and adjustments as was intended

This product is really high quality and has a very solid feeling to it. It's a bit on the heavy side, but with that weight comes dense material that will hopefully be the difference between broken bones vs just some bruises.
