This collection encompasses comprehensive protection and apparel designed specifically for street and sport riding. You'll find road jackets (both leather and textile), riding pants, gloves, boots, one-piece and two-piece suits, base layers, and protective armor. Each category offers options ranging from sport-focused race gear to touring-oriented versatile pieces, all engineered with Alpinestars' racing-proven technology and Italian craftsmanship.
The choice between leather and textile depends on your primary riding style and conditions:
| Feature | Leather Jackets | Textile Jackets |
|---|---|---|
| Abrasion Resistance | Superior, especially premium kangaroo leather | Excellent with advanced technical fabrics |
| Weather Versatility | Best in dry conditions | All-weather with waterproof membranes |
| Ventilation | Limited airflow options | Advanced ventilation systems |
| Primary Use | Sport riding, track days | Touring, commuting, varied conditions |
Both options in this collection feature CE-certified armor and are designed to accommodate Tech-Air® airbag systems for maximum protection.
Many products in this collection are specifically designed for Tech-Air® compatibility, featuring integrated harness routing and proper fitment to accommodate Alpinestars' electronic airbag technology. Compatible jackets include dedicated internal pockets and connection points for Tech-Air® vests and systems. Check individual product specifications for Tech-Air® compatibility confirmation, or explore our complete Tech-Air® systems collection to understand integration options. Tech-Air® represents the world's first fully electronic airbag system with AI-powered crash detection, providing unmatched protection across street and sport riding disciplines.
Alpinestars road gear meets or exceeds the highest international safety standards. Look for CE certification on armor (typically CE Level 1 or Level 2 for shoulders, elbows, and knees), with many products offering upgrade options to CE Level 2 back protectors. Suits and jackets designed for track use often carry FIM homologation, meeting the strict requirements of professional racing organizations. Our road collection utilizes advanced protective materials including Nomex for heat resistance and strategically placed Kevlar reinforcements in high-impact zones. All protective features are validated through real-world racing across MotoGP, World Superbike, and other championship series.
Proper fit is critical for both safety and comfort in road riding gear. Jackets and suits should fit snug but not restrictive in the riding position—armor must remain properly positioned over shoulders, elbows, and back without shifting during movement. Road pants should allow full range of motion while keeping knee armor centered over the kneecap when seated on the bike. For road gloves, ensure no excess material in the palm and fingers are long enough to prevent armor from sliding back. Road boots should fit securely with minimal heel lift. Most Alpinestars road gear features adjustment systems including waist adjusters, arm length adjusters, and connection zippers to create integrated jacket-pant combinations. Consider trying gear in your actual riding position, and remember that leather will break in slightly while textile maintains its original fit.
