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. |
