Body armour for motorcycles

Motorcycle Protections

Motorcycle protections are much more important than other accessories in a rider's gear, as they aim to increase, as much as possible, the safety of the motorcycle rider, as well as the passenger. Therefore, they should not be classified as mere accessories, as they have saved more than one person from suffering greater harm.

In this segment, brands such as Zandona, Alpinestars, Held, Thor, or UFO have specialized over time in the development of innovative designs and materials, with the goal of offering the highest possible impact absorption capacity, without neglecting comfort.

Among all the motorcycle protections, the most commonly used is the back protector for motorcycles, which is logical, as we are talking about the protection that absorbs all kinds of impacts that our back may suffer, and consequently, our spine. There are high-quality back protectors with SAS-TEC protection and 3D foam, such as the back protector for motorcycles Sakari from Held. This back protector ensures protection in the shoulder area, lumbar region, and cervical spine. Additionally, at Unobike, we have other well-reputed models like the back protectors from Zandona and Alpinestars.

If you consider yourself a passionate off-road enthusiast and are looking for motocross protections, your gear should primarily consist of: knee pads for motorcycles, as injuries frequently occur due to knee impact when the rider falls. Alternatively, you can equip yourself with leg protections to expand the range of protection; shoulder protections and a good chest protector or also called armor, which will prevent any type of fracture in the ribs and other sensitive areas. In the field of enduro or motocross protections, we can find brands like Alpinestars, Thor, or UFO, which perfectly understand the needs of off-road riders.

All these protectors can also be found for other riding styles, as it is common to add a back protector to the jacket, a lumbar support to protect the lower back, and elbow and shoulder pads for jackets. And if you want to complete the upper body gear, a good neck protection will save us from any damage to the cervical area. For the lower body, you can add sliders to the knees in the pants.

And last but not least, increasingly, airbag vests for motorcycles are being requested, and brands like Held, Bering, or Tucano Urbano are aware of this, offering new approved jackets with airbags, such as the Held Carese APS jacket, for example.
