Alpinestars GP Tech v5 Race Suit

Description

Alpinestars GP Tech V5 1-Piece Leather Suit

The Alpinestars GP Tech v5 1-Piece Leather Suit features an engineered aerodynamic profile that minimizes drag and increases stability for riders in a racing tuck or cornering lean. This Alpinestars GP Tech v5 1-Piece Leather Suit utilizes a MotoGP-derived racing pattern constructed from a blend of kangaroo and bovine leather to provide high levels of abrasion resistance and an adaptive fit. Dual leather layers and a bonded Kevlar net protect against impact and reduce friction-generated heat for motorcyclists during high-speed slides.

Expanded stretch Kevlar panels and a 3D pre-tensioned waist accordion facilitate mobility while maintaining a streamlined shape for two-wheeled fans. The specialized speed hump functions with the S-R10 helmet to optimize airflow, and silicon inner leg patches maintain contact with the machine. Anatomical GP Tech Knee Sliders and triple-stitched outer seams ensure durability and precise placement on the track. A padded mesh liner and strategic Lycra inserts support breathability, while pre-curved sleeves and tilted wrist zippers minimize pressure during operation. Lightweight fabric on the lower leg allows for compatibility with Supertech R boots to complete the technical specifications of the garment. The leather construction and ergonomic design enable avid track junkies to exploit the potential of modern race bikes while maintaining advanced safety standards.

Quick Tips for Race Suit Fit:

• Made for riding, not for standing – Try on the suit & crouch into a full-tuck position (arms extended & knees bent.) Race suits are made to fit best in the riding position, making them uncomfortable to wear while standing upright.
• Second skin fit – In the riding position, the suit should fit snugly against your body without any excess fabric bunching and shouldn’t restrict movement or breathing.
• Account for ALL the gear – Wear all of your track gear when you try-on the suit to check for compatibility and proper fit. This includes: airbag, armor, back protector, base layer, boots, gloves, socks and yes… even your helmet!
• Like peas in a pod – Race suit sleeves are tapered to fit within full length gauntlet gloves & legs are tapered to fit within full height race boots.
• Break-in period – Keep in mind that leather stretches about 3-5% after the first few wears.
