Alpinestars Gloves

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.
