The FQ20 Legit Crew Fleece is a CE Class A certified riding garment dressed up as a casual crew fleece. Built from durable 2L polyester fleece with a DWR treatment for basic weather resistance, it carries Nucleon Flex Plus Level 1 CE-certified armor on the shoulders, elbows, and forearms — a more extensive protection coverage than most riding hoodies offer. Tech-Air Ready compatibility opens the option of airbag vest integration for riders who want complete upper body protection. The round neck with ribbed collar, double side zippers for easy on and off, and denim loops for connecting Tech Riding Pants round out a practical spec that works across a range of riding situations.
Two inner pockets are accessible from the side zips for secure storage, and a dedicated back protector insert pocket accepts an optional CE Level 2 Nucleon back protector upgrade. Embroidered Alpinestars logo and badge personalisation on the arm carry the FQ20 identity without dominating the garment.
