ALPINESTARS 2020 MOTORCYCLING COLLECTION LAUNCH

The new range of urban, touring and racing sports garments which make up the Alpinestars 2020 Motorcycling Collection has been designed to deliver protection, innovative materials and top performance for all riders, whether that be on the racetrack, the road or in the city.
 
This year, Alpinestars is expanding its range to allow all riders to make the most of the riding season, whatever the environment or climate. The result of countless hours of comprehensive research, testing and development in the laboratory, on the road and on the racetrack in the most demanding of conditions, the new products boast the highest levels of safety, performance, comfort and functionality, giving riders the confidence to ensure they get the maximum from their time on two wheels.
 
The highlights of the new collection are as follows: 

• MISSILE IGNITION LEATHER JACKET TECH-AIR® COMPATIBLE
• STELLA VALPARAISO DRYSTAR® JACKET AND PANTS
• VALPARAISO DRYSTAR® JACKET, PANTS AND GLOVES
• RADIUM AND VICTORY TECH DENIM PANTS  
• BIO-FLEX HIP AND KNEE PROTECTORS    
• STRIVER DRYSTAR® GLOVES
• WR-2 v2 GORE-TEX GLOVES

This focus on rider protection is evident in the Bio-Flex hip and knee protectors, our new, lightweight and slim protectors which have been designed to offer high levels of protection while being discreet enough to be unnoticeable off the bike. The state-of-the-art cell structure construction ensures maximum airflow, with the adaptive shape delivering excellent comfort, on and off the bike.

The same attention to detail is applied to the AAA class Missile Ignition Leather Jacket, which is constructed from highly abrasion resistant premium full grain leather with extensive stretch panels and accordions for superior levels of rider comfort. Tech-Air® compatible, this jacket boasts class-leading impact protection and armor on the shoulders and elbows.

The Tech Denim range grows for 2020, with more fits to appeal to even more riders. The Radium Pant is a premium five-pocket sport and urban riding jean that fuses protection in a regular fit design. Featuring stretch Cordura with a knitted protective lining for high levels of abrasion resistance, and CoolThread for effective moisture wicking, the pant also comes equipped with the new Bio-Flex knee armor.

Touring riders are equally well catered for, with the arrival of the new Valparasio v3 Drystar® jacket, pant and gloves. Versatile and anatomically optimized for superior long-range comfort, these technical, all-weather products feature Alpinestars Drystar® waterproof and breathable membrane for effective and proven all-weather performance.

Winter gloves have also been thoroughly revamped; the Striver Drystar® Glove boasts a leather and textile construction with a Drystar® liner for excellent protection against the elements. This glove is practical too, thanks to the touchscreen compatible fingertip.
 
For publications wishing to conduct features, tests and photo shoots with products from the 2020 Motorcycling Collection, samples will be available upon request (subject to availability).
