FAQs
Alpinestars uses women’s‑specific, performance‑oriented patterning, so urban riding pieces are designed to fit close to the body without restricting reach or movement on the bike. Use your body measurements (bust, waist, hip, inseam, and foot length) and consult the size chart on each product page.
If you plan to layer a hoodie, mid layer, or wear impact protection or an airbag vest, allow additional room. Jackets should cover the lower back in a riding posture, sleeves should not pull at full reach, jeans should position knee/hip armor correctly when seated, and riding shoes should feel snug at the heel with natural toe splay.
Many riding garments in the urban range carry CE certification to EN 17092 (overall garment performance, classified AAA/AA/A). Impact protectors typically reference EN 1621‑1 (shoulder/elbow/hip/knee) and EN 1621‑2 (back), while motorcycle gloves often cite EN 13594 and riding shoes/boots EN 13634.
Check the product description and the internal label for the specific standard and level. Casual lifestyle items in the collection may not be CE protective; look for clear notes indicating “CE‑certified” or an EN standard when protective performance is a priority.
Urban gear spans leather, textile, mesh, and waterproof shells to balance abrasion resistance, airflow, and weather protection. Use the guide below to match materials to your commute or city rides:
| Material | Best For (Urban) | Key Properties |
|---|---|---|
| Leather | Mild to warm, higher abrasion areas | High abrasion resistance; form‑fitting; limited airflow unless perforated |
| Textile / Mesh | Hot weather and stop‑start traffic | Lightweight; breathable panels; quick drying |
| Waterproof (laminate or drop‑liner) | Wet or variable seasons | Weather protection; windproof; pairs well with thermal layers |
For focused browsing, see our urban jackets and urban riding shoes.
Most urban jackets include pockets for CE‑certified armor at the shoulders, elbows, back, and sometimes chest. Garments specifically designed for airbag use are marked “Tech‑Air® Compatible/Ready” and feature patterning and stretch zones to accommodate deployment.
Always verify the note on the product page before pairing. To explore options and confirm fit, visit Tech‑Air systems and use the Tech‑Air compatibility checker.
Before cleaning, remove all armor and electronics and close zips and Velcro. For textiles or riding denim, follow the care label; machine wash cold on gentle with mild detergent, avoid bleach and fabric softeners, then air dry away from heat. Reproof the DWR on shells when water stops beading; low heat may help reactivate DWR if the label permits.
Do not machine wash leather. Wipe with a damp cloth, let dry naturally, then condition with a suitable leather treatment as recommended. Proper care preserves fabric performance, weather protection, and the intended fit over time.
