FAQs
Alpinestars jackets use performance-oriented patterns intended to keep armor stable and reduce excess material. Measure your chest and waist, then consult the size chart on each product page. A correct fit allows full reach to the bars without shoulder pull, keeps elbow/shoulder protectors centered, and places sleeve cuffs at the wrist in riding position.
If you plan to layer base/mid layers or wear added protection (e.g., back/chest inserts or an airbag), allow extra room. Sport leather fits closer; touring and urban textiles tend to be slightly more relaxed. If between sizes, choose based on your primary use and intended layering.
Material choice affects airflow, abrasion resistance, and weather protection. Use this guide to match construction to conditions:
| Material | Best For | Key Properties |
|---|---|---|
| Leather | Sport/track; temperate to warm | High abrasion resistance; form-fitting; limited airflow unless perforated |
| Textile / Mesh | Urban/commuting; hot weather | Lightweight; breathable panels; quick drying |
| Laminated Waterproof (2L/3L) | Touring/adventure; wet or variable | Durable waterproofing; windproof; pairs with thermal layers |
Explore our leather motorcycle jackets, textile motorcycle jackets, and weather-ready adventure motorcycle jackets to match your conditions.
Many garments carry CE certification to EN 17092, which classifies overall garment performance. In general terms, AAA indicates the highest abrasion and seam performance, AA balances protection with mobility for road use, and A is oriented to lower-speed urban use. Check each product page and the garment label for the exact class.
Impact protectors referenced in the collection typically follow EN 1621 standards: EN 1621-1 for shoulders/elbows, EN 1621-2 for back, and EN 1621-3 for chest. Look for the standard and level on the protector label and product description.
Many jackets are designated “Tech‑Air® Compatible/Ready,” with patterns and stretch zones that accommodate airbag volume. Always verify the compatibility note on the product page and ensure the fit allows required expansion. Some airbag systems include an integrated back protector; follow the system and garment guidance on whether to remove a separate back insert.
To confirm, visit Tech‑Air® systems and use the Tech‑Air® compatibility checker. For non-airbag setups or to upgrade impact absorption, browse CE-certified impact protectors.
Textile: Remove armor and any electronics, close zips/Velcro, then machine wash cold on gentle with mild detergent if the care label permits. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Air dry away from heat and reproof the DWR when water no longer beads.
Leather: Do not machine wash. Wipe with a damp cloth, allow to dry naturally, and condition with a suitable leather treatment. Keep away from high heat and direct sunlight. Always follow the garment’s care label for model-specific instructions.
