BRAND:
Alpinestars represents the world's premier, high-quality race, track and street
motorcycle gear. While Alpinestars is not known for low-cost riding apparel, the
Alpinestars name is well known for European styling with high safety in mind.
Alpinestars designs are worn by many of the world's top MotoGP riders (including
Nicky Hayden), World Superbike riders and US AMA championship riders. All
Alpinestars apparel and Alpinestars boots are manufactured to European sizing
specifications but you can purchase Alpinestars equipment at
MetricBikes-Superstore.com using USA equivalent sizes provided on our sizing
options.
SELECTION: Alpinestar motorcycle apparel offers one of the widest
selections of track ready leather suits, jackets, pants, gloves and boots. The
prices for Alpinestars are above the market average but worth the extra expense.
The Alpinestar leather suit selection includes advanced aerodynamics, double and
triple stitching and extra armor and padding. Alpinestars jacket selection
includes a wide range of styles with conservative graphics and coloring. You can
get a track ready jacket like the SMX Air Flow or a street riding jacket like
the Spinner. They offer track ready pants like the Track Pant or street riding
denim like the Street Cargo pant. Alpinestar offers a large range of gloves from
light weight textile to fully armored track ready gloves. Alpinestars boot
selection includes full race ready designs to touring models.
FIT:
Alpinestars fit is traditionally European with most of their sizing to European
standards. The average Alpinestars rider will be slender, average height and
athletic build. In 2004, Alpinestars expanded their rider specification to
include the Black Label series of jackets. The Spinner, One o One, Ice and
Magnum Jersey are more of a street fit with looser styling and more forgiving to
heavier riders.
PERFORMANCE: Alpinestars performance ranks with the worlds best. The
Alpinestars company is internationally recognized as a supplier of high quality
motorcycle apparel with a conservative, European styling. With high quality and
advanced features comes a higher price. Alpinestars is one of the more expensive
brands on the market and should be considered if you want to profile a top brand
and have the budget to do so.
RETURN
RATE: The return rate for Alpinestars is below average. Almost all of our
customers like the fit and style of Alpinestars and we get very few returns. We
do not have any Alpinestars returned for warranty.
OUR
RECOMMENDATION: If you can afford Alpinestars, we recommend you buy it.
It is great gear and will last through many years of use. We dont recommend
Alpinestars if you want to achieve a street style look since it is very
conservative European styling.
