Alpinestars Leathers


Im looking to get a new 1 piece leathers for this upcoming season, my old leather are only one year old but dont fit very well anymore. I have been checking out the deals on eBay and stuff. There seems to be a few models, I like the Smoto the best. However, it says designed with Super Moto in mind. I dont supermoto... Whats the difference between the supermoto and non supermoto designs?

Thanks.

supermoto suits done have velcro on the knees for pucks, but you can always get some sewn in

Re: Alpinestars Leathers


Supermoto suits are also cut for a more upright seating position (dirtbike/supermoto style). Suits like the MX1, the Vector, and the Race Replica are more of a race crouch fit.

The MX1 seems to be the best deal for the money if you are looking for more of a race cut suit. It has all of the features of the replica, but is about $600 cheaper. The ventilation may be a little less, but that seems to be all I could figure out.

Yes, please do tell.

I have a one piece Vector right now. I like everything about it but the looks, and the snap collar.
