Motorcycle chest protector - a vital area often overlooked

Motorcycle Chest Protector and Other Motorcycle Protections: What’s Really Inside Your Riding Gear?

The chest protector is one of the most important — and often overlooked — elements of motorcycle safety gear. While most riders focus on protecting the back, elbows, and knees, the chest is also a critical impact zone during frontal collisions.

At Andromeda Moto, we don’t overlook this. Our gear includes advanced protection solutions to maximize your safety without compromising comfort. Here’s a breakdown of the armor featured in our riding gear, from jackets to reinforced jeans.

Chest protector

The NearX suit comes equipped with a SAS-TEC motorcycle Chest protector Level 1 by default — perfect for riders who want lightweight protection without sacrificing mobility. SAS-TEC protectors are made in Germany from a unique polyurethane (PU) foam derived from plant-based oils, rather than traditional mineral oil. This makes them an eco-friendly alternative to conventional protectors.

However, if you're looking for enhanced safety, you can upgrade it with our SAS-TEC motorcycle Chest Protector Level 2 (the highest safety level), fully compatible with the NearX. This upgrade significantly increases impact absorption in one of the most vulnerable areas during a frontal crash, offering peace of mind for riders who demand maximum protection. The Level 2 chest protector maintains a slim profile and ergonomic shape, so you won’t feel restricted while riding. It’s the ideal choice for track riders, tourers, or anyone who doesn’t compromise on safety.

What kind of protectors are in our jackets?

Our Neowise and Kuiper jackets come with SAS-TEC Level 2 armor in the shoulders, elbows and back — certified to the highest safety standards. These protectors are soft and flexible to the touch, molding naturally to your body with the help of your body heat — but they instantly harden upon impact to provide maximum protection.

For that reason, they are resistant and extremely comfortable. Their ergonomic design allows you to move freely on and off the bike, making them ideal for both short city rides and long-distance journeys. The materials used not only provide superior impact protection but also promote ventilation and breathability, reducing discomfort during warm weather or extended use. Remember, comfort is a crucial part of active safety, helping you stay focused and in control while riding.

The most protective jeans: Rocket

If you’re looking for jeans that offer maximum protection without sacrificing a casual look, the Rocket jeans are your best option. They include Sas-Tec Tripleflex Level 2 protectors in the knees and hips — thin, lightweight, and incredibly flexible, so much so that you’ll barely notice them while riding or walking. These protectors conform to your body and harden on impact, giving you advanced impact protection without the bulky feel of traditional armor. The outer shell of the jeans is made from abrasion-resistant materials designed to withstand high levels of friction, combining safety and streetwear style in one garment.

What truly sets them apart? A built-in coccyx protector — a rare and valuable addition that provides critical coverage to a part of the body that is usually left unprotected in most riding pants. This added layer of protection is especially useful in low-sides or rear-impact falls. Combined with AAA-level certification, the highest standard for motorcycle apparel under EN 17092, the Rocket jeans stand out as the most protective motorcycle jeans on the market — offering full lower-body armor without compromising on comfort or aesthetics.

Protect smart: The Gear that has your Back (and Chest)

Motorcycle gear should do more than look good — it should protect you where it matters most. Adding a motorcycle chest protector Level 2 armor, and extended coverage like a coccyx protector can make a huge difference in a crash. At Andromeda Moto, we design every product to meet the highest protection standards, so you can ride with confidence, comfort, and style.
