With the temperature now starting to decrease, and the skies turning ever greyer into the winter period, motorcyclists around the country will undoubtedly be slipping into more protective, insulated gear before heading onto the wet, slippery roads that await them. It is important that riders are not restricted by their clothing when riding through harsh winter conditions, thus investing in clothing from leading manufacturers like Alpinestars is a very sensible choice indeed.
Alpinestars Gore-tex range specialises in exactly this, combining both great looks with high performance for harsh weather conditions. The materials are typically based on thermo-mechanically expanded PFTE (a chemical with a really long name), which is used for other applications like medical implants and filter media. It is best known for being protective yet breathable, making it ideal for use in accessories like the Alpinestars gloves range. The Gore-tex is applied as an insert membrane with full grain leather construction around the outside in order to eliminate leaks. This makes the gloves very warm and very flexible, ideal for cold and harsh weather conditions.
Gore-tex is recurrent throughout the Alpinestars range, including Alpinestars boots. Features of the boot include vulcanised rubber compound soles and multi density EVA padding. The breathable Gore-tex allows the boots to be waterproof and resilient, making them perfect for maintaining stability during the harsh weather. Furthermore, injection-moulded plastic on the ankles, heels, and toes provides internal support and protection an important factor to consider, particularly for the riders vulnerable limbs.
As for general body wear, Alpinestars range of Drystar jackets and trousers are equipped with 660 Denier Taslon Nylon fabric with PU coating, a material built for strength and water resistance. The Drystar internal lining is very similar to that of Gore-tex it allows water resistance without constricting breathability. In addition to this the jacket and trousers both have reflective piping in order to increase visibility to other road users. Again, these features allow optimum performance and safety during harsh weather conditions, making the Alpinestars range a wise choice for forward thinking motorcyclists.
It goes without saying that safety is imperative as a motorcyclist. As such, wearing the right gear is a factor that would be more than foolish to disregard. The Alpinestars range was built with the users safety and performance in mind. Ask any avid biker about the brand, and message me when they point to the contrary.
