Summer Special
Do you fancy a complete gear for this summer? Do you want to look cool and relaxed on your bike without compromising on the safety? Well, this outfit is for you then!
The Alpinestars Stunt Leather jacket will protect you perfectly while riding. The fact that this jacket has a removable thermal liner makes it the perfect jacket for a warm or cooler days ride. All of the armour is CE Certified and as usual you can upgrade the jacket by getting an Alpinestars RC Back Protector. The stretch Kevlar fabric panels will protect your body from abrasion and they will give you optimal flexibility, especially in the riding position.

Riding jeans have never been so stylish. The new range of Alpinestars Jeans will offer you the level of protection you would be looking for in order to ride a sportsbike. You have the choice of 3 different models: the Hellcat, the Ablaze and the Resist. All of them come with knee protectors and removable hip protectors. You can adjust the knee pockets to play on the length. They are highly abrasion resistant thanks to the wide Kevlar panels stitched inside of the jeans.
Alpinestars Hellcat Jeans
The Hellcat comes with a stretch panel at the top of your back for an extremely comfortable riding position. A zipper at the bottom of each leg will allow you to wear it either underneath or on top of your racing boots. They are therefore ideal for the summer.
The Resist and Ablaze are almost the same model, except that you don’t get the zippers and the stretch panel at the top of your back. The Ablaze is a more relaxed fit while the Resist is a regular fit.
You can get these jeans at www.motorbikeplanet.co.uk (hellcat £219.95 and Ablaze /Resist £169.96).
