FAQs
Alpinestars uses performance-oriented patterns, so technical apparel and gloves generally fit close to the body for reduced bulk and precise control. Use your body measurements and consult the size chart; if you plan to layer base or mid layers or wear impact protection, allow additional room.
Gloves should feel snug without numbness, boots should allow natural toe splay and ankle flexion, and jackets/pants should not restrict reach or knee bend in a riding position. If between sizes, consider your intended layering and protection setup.
Many protection-focused items carry CE certification according to EN standards. For garments, look for EN 17092 classifications (AAA/AA/A) indicating overall abrasion and seam performance. Impact protectors typically reference EN 1621-1 (shoulder, elbow, hip, knee) and EN 1621-2 (back); some chest protectors are certified to EN 1621-3.
Category-specific items may list EN 13594 for motorcycle gloves and EN 13634 for motorcycle boots. Always check the product description and labeling for the exact standard and level.
Construction varies by use case. Use the guide below to match material to conditions:
| Material | Best For | Key Properties |
|---|---|---|
| Leather | Sport/track, temperate to warm | High abrasion resistance; form-fitting; limited airflow unless perforated |
| Textile / Mesh | Urban/commuting, hot weather | Lightweight; breathable panels; quick drying |
| Laminated Waterproof (2L/3L) | Touring/adventure, wet or variable | Durable weather protection; windproof; pairs with thermal layers |
Select ventilation (mesh/perf), removable thermal liners, or laminated shells based on your primary climate and speed of travel.
Many Alpinestars garments include pockets for CE-certified armor (shoulders, elbows, hips, knees) and are marked when they are “Tech‑Air® Compatible/Ready.” If you intend to use a Tech‑Air® system, look for explicit compatibility notes and ensure the garment allows the necessary airbag volume and stretch zones.
For non-garment items (e.g., gloves or boots), compatibility refers to meeting the appropriate EN standards and working in conjunction with your existing protection setup rather than integrating an airbag.
For textiles, close zips/Velcro, remove armor and any electronics, and machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, then air dry away from high heat. Reproof the DWR on shells when water stops beading; low heat may help reactivate DWR if the care label allows.
Do not machine wash leather. Wipe clean with a damp cloth, allow to dry naturally, and condition with a suitable leather treatment. Always follow the specific care label on the garment or gear.
