Acebis has released its 2009 version of the Impact range, with jacket, trousers and gloves available. The jacket or jumper has 21 different fabric panels and is made from 100 percent polyester. It’s light and breathable, and is ideal for motocross and enduro riders, at a price of about 50 euros.

The trousers are made from Duratech 840D, Poliestere 600D and Nylon 600D and were designed in consultation with Stefan Everts and Juha Salminen. This is one of the best options for offroad riding in terms of its quality, comfort and protection. It’s cut specifically and stretches to allow for full flexibility. The knee area includes three elasticised panels and the whole costs about 160 euros.

The gloves are light and comfortable with leather finishes that extend to the index and middle finger, increasing resistance to abrasions. Compared to the previous design, the longer glove gives better protection to the wrist area. The gloves cost about 50 euros.
