A-Impact Plasma Elite Shield Elbow Protectors

• The Nucleon PLASMA element in the elbow protector is constructed from a bio-based viscoelastic impact-absorbing compound, with no less than 25% bio-based content and molded into a precision-engineered geometry. While the PLASMA material dissipates impact energy and significantly reduces transmitted forces through controlled material response, the low-profile PLASMA geometry is specifically developed to compress and extend with movement while supporting airflow through its channeled and highly-perforated design.
• Over-injected TPU shell for added protection when impacting against rocks.
• Extra padding around the inner and outer elbow offers additional coverage.
• Comfort liner provides a soft feel contact against the skin, offering a firm compression fit and soft tissue support, as well as preventing material bunching.
• Dual strap closure system specially designed to offer improved comfort and adjustment for a personalized ergonomic fit.
• Silicone printing on the inner liner prevents the protector from being displaced while riding.

Nucleon PLASMA Technology
Alpinestars' Nucleon PLASMA Technology provides effective impact protection through a bio-based viscoelastic impact-absorbing compound containing no less than 25% bio-based content, molded into a precision-engineered geometry. The PLASMA material dissipates impact energy and significantly reduces transmitted forces through controlled material response, while its low-profile geometry compresses and extends with movement and supports airflow through a channeled, highly-perforated design. The Nucleon PLASMA insert is removable for ease of washing.

Over-injected TPU shell
The over-injected TPU shell provides added protection against impacts with rocks.

Inner and outer elbow padding
Extra padding around the inner and outer elbow provides additional coverage.

Abrasion-resistant textile
Highly abrasion-resistant textile provides durability.

Laminated ripstop PE foam and poly-mesh
The lightweight elbow protectors are constructed from laminated ripstop PE foam and poly-mesh for superior breathability and airflow.

Double-layer construction
The double-layer construction allows the elbows to bend effortlessly while preventing the protectors from slipping down the arm when riding.

Pre-curved ergonomic design
The pre-curved, ergonomic design optimizes performance in various riding positions.

Dual strap closure system
The dual strap closure system is designed to improve comfort and adjustment for a personalized ergonomic fit, with a wide 5cm top strap mounted above the elbow and a lower strap positioned for an ergonomic fit.

Comfort liner with silicone printing
The comfort liner provides soft contact against the skin, a firm compression fit, and soft tissue support while preventing material bunching. Silicone printing on the inner liner prevents the protector from being displaced while riding.
