Point Two ProAir Ladies Jacket
The ProAir Ladies Jacket represents the technical leader in women’s tethered low-profile airbag protectors, focusing on race-derived ergonomics, ultra-light materials and precision inflation geometry for tailored coverage. It sits above mainstream vests in refinement and fit, offering a slimmer profile and advanced kinematics for riders prepared to pay a premium for performance, and it complements rather than competes directly with Helite’s more bulky-certified approach and Hit-Air’s budget strengths. For women who prioritize the lightest, most close-fitting protection with cutting-edge engineering, the ProAir is top-tier.
