Alpinestars Youth A5 S v2 Chest Guard - Black, White, Red - Small/Medium (Part #6740224-123-S/M)

The Alpinestars Youth A5 S v2 Chest Guard offers advanced protection and superior ventilation for young riders. Featuring a perforated impact grid on the inner side of the outer shell, this design provides a second line of defense while enhancing airflow to minimize heat buildup during intense activities. The dual-zone construction combines a rigid central zone with a flexible soft compound perimeter backed by soft bio-foam padding, allowing the protector to mold comfortably to the rider's chest for a personalized fit. The central area behind the highly perforated impact grid remains fully open to maximize ventilation and keep the rider cool even during demanding rides. Constructed from a flexible viscoelastic material, this chest guard delivers excellent weight-saving properties and adaptive comfort, ensuring unrestricted movement. The secure fit is maintained through adjustable shoulder straps, easy-connect side straps, and V-straps that evenly distribute tightening forces across the back, resulting in a more secure and comfortable experience. Additional coverage is provided by removable rib guards, which are mounted on soft-touch foam padding and attach easily with hook and loop patches. The shoulder protectors are also removable and feature elastic upper arm adjustment straps to keep them securely in place. Ventilation is a key feature, with 17% of the structure dedicated to apertures that align across both layers of the hybrid design, channeling heat away from the rider's chest effectively. The protector's channeling system enhances airflow, ensuring maximum ventilation at all times. Compatibility with YNS systems is achieved via removable punch panels and elastic pull tabs, allowing for quick and secure attachment. Overall, the Alpinestars A5 S v2 Chest Guard combines comprehensive coverage, customizable fit, and excellent ventilation, making it an ideal choice for young riders seeking reliable protection without sacrificing comfort.
