Alpinestars Stella T-Kira v2 Air jacket

A jacket defined with the fit on a female body in mind. The garment features a poly-fabric outer layer for high levels of durability, along with multiple vents and large mesh panels on the front, back and arms, to allow it to be used in different weather conditions. Bearing in mind Nucleon Flex Plus protection on the shoulders and elbows, as well as the possible integration of the Alpine Stars Nucleon protection on the chest and back (additional accessory), this garment is designed for use with or without Tech-Air5®, the Alpinestars with electronic airbag.

The jacket features reflective material details, a collar with soft lining for comfort, two front zip pockets, an internal waterproof pocket for documents and two internal pockets on the lining. A Velcro system for the waist and cuff promotes a correct closure and the rear part of the clothing item is lengthened to cover while walking.
We note a resistant 600 Denier polyester load-bearing structure with double polyurethane coating to strengthen protection, then extended mesh panels on the back of the collar to promote ventilation; Nucleon Flex Plus Level 1 armor on the shoulders and elbows, specifying that Nucleon Level 1 torso and Nucleon Level 1 and 2 back protectors are available as an additional accessory, and an internal 600 Denier polyester reinforcement on shoulders and elbows. The garment is compatible with Tech-Air® 5, the first airbag system for motorcyclists, as mentioned. Sizes range from S a 2XL and the suggested retail price is: 189.95 euros.

Alpinestars Stella Kalea gloves

A creation with soft leather outer fabric and stretch, flexible and protective polyester fabric. An elegant and sporty motorbike glove, designed to promote protection and comfort, also considering a structure designed to reduce seams. This features pre-curved fingers to reduce fatigue, there is also a leather and Velcro cuff and a TPR closure. The cuff itself is elongated and reinforced with foam padding on the outside, so the pads of the index finger and thumb are compatible with touchscreen systems.

Among the features are highlighted: synthetic and resistant leather reinforcements on the side of the hand, thumb and palm; accordion panels on the fingers according to joint flexibility; a viscoelastic knuckle protection system for impact resistance and superior comfort and the protector contains foam for improved comfort and additional shock absorbing capabilities; an upper part of the glove developed in perforated leather and a lateral reinforcement in synthetic suede on the little finger. A durable multi-panel construction incorporating soft full-grain goatskin and the leather palm construction features foam reinforcements.

Alpinestars Stella Faster-3 Rideknit shoes

A product that features a seamless knit upper, promoting lightness and breathability, with high-level protective characteristics. The upper is developed using a mix of microfibre, mesh and seamless heat-sealed microfibre with a replaceable anatomical EVA insole with a Lycra upper layer and a lightweight rubber sole in a specific compound with grip texturing. An anatomically defined shoe for the female foot with a 3D mesh internal part to promote breathability with a microsuede anti-slip area on the heel and internal reinforcements in the toe and heel area layered under the upper. The design is asymmetrical in the big toe area with the gear shift in mind. The tongue and lateral and medial areas are made of mesh, always considering breathability and comfort, but also favoring a youthful appearance.

We point out padding for the tongue and instep area, always with comfort in mind, and we also highlight the dual-density medial ankle protectors inserted between the inside and the upper, with an advanced TPU ankle that continues on the lower lateral area. Then mention the air vents in the lateral area and big toe; a new design for the TPR heel protector and TPR sliders on the toe side. Finally the shoe is equipped with a traditional lace closure and an adjustable side Velcro closure with TPR tongue. Sizes for European markets vary from 36 a 44 and the suggested retail figure is: 154.95 euros.
