Alpinestars Spring 2012 Collection - Track Standouts

The Alpinestars Spring 2012 Collection is on its way and there are definitely a few standouts for the track.  Starting with the updated Alpinestars Race Replica Suit.  The new Alpinestars suit can be fitted with the Tech Air Airbag system and features updated stretch panels in shoulders and a revised perforation scheme for unsurpassed cooling.  The new design is very clean and on trend for the resurgence of high visibility colors seen in the Moto GP Paddock.  This is about as close as you can get to the suits worn by Stoner, Pedrosa, and Spies.

For those that prefer a two piece set up, the Alpinestars GP Tech Air Leather Jacket is going to be a killer top half to a track suit.  Massive amounts of perforation highlight this technical jacket as well as nicely integrated reflective stripes and external TPU shoulder and extended elbow protection that comes straight from the Race Replica Suit.  There is also a removable windbreaker vest liner for when the temperature drops.  This is the new top of the line jacket from Alpinestars for those who will except nothing less.

The SMX Plus Boots changed the game for sport riding boots in its price range last year and the addition of the Gore-Tex membrane will only further the popularity of this standout.  It will be nice to hit a rainy track day or damp weekend ride knowing that your feet will be protected as well as dry and comfortable.  The standout features of these boots are the Multi Link Control system, which protects the ankle from hypertorsion, hyperflexion and hyperextension while adding impact protection and a contoured EVA footbed that lends arch support and control feel in the forefoot but is also completely removable if you so choose. 

I cant wait to see this kit in person.
