I am really glad I got this protection jacket.
I ride enduro and hard-enduro on really hot weather (90 - 100 F and above) and I've never felt as comfortable and ventilated with any of my two previous protection jackets.
This is a BIG upgrade from my previous jacket, the Alpinestars Bionic 2 Protection Jacket, which at its time was a BIG upgrade from my first protection jacket the Forcefield Extreme Harness Adventure.
This new item, the ALPINESTARS BIONIC TECH V2 PROTECTION JACKE, is really well ventilated, I can actually feel the air on my body while riding, it is lighter and more ergonomic than my previous Alpinestars jacket.
It is so well ventilated than on the winter days I might use one of my previous jackets that are warmer.
I should have bought this piece a few years back, I do feel I waisted a lot of energy under the other garments, which usually lead to harder riding moments, more time suffering heat and recovering.
I have used it so far only 3 times, after being absent from riding 5-6 months, and to my surprise I have ridden much better and longer than expected, I think it has to do with the body being able to keeping cool.
It is not perfect, I haven't figured out the buckles from the upper front part for putting it on, and I feel I must be careful when putting on since I fear I can tear the mesh, which in my opinion should be a bit longer down the waist (it sits a bit high) and a tiny bit longer on the arms – however this doesn’t shadow on the pros, so I give 5 star rate.
As a side note, I had to changed my previous Alpinestar jacket because both zippers got damaged from too much salt from sweat, it is an easy fix, and the excuse helped me get this Tech V2, so this time I am being extra cautious and will wash it after every use, I really hope it lasts.
Pros: Ventilation, Ventilation, Ventilation, light and ergonomic.
Cons: Mesh feels weak and easy to tear, a bit short on waist and arms.
Recommended: Absolutely Recommended
