Alpinestars GP Tech gloves

The Alpinestars GP Tech gloves excel in providing the wearer with an exceptional level of safety. They differ slightly from the Alpinestars GP Pro gloves in this respect. There is a particular emphasis on finger, knuckle and wrist protection using injected moulded thermoplastic for protection. The great thing about injected moulded thermoplastic is it can provide a high level of safety and still look cool at the end of the day. It used to be all the rage to use carbon fiber for the protection and you can still see this in the GP Plus gloves. Alpinestars gloves have stated that using moulded thermoplastic provides a greater impact and abrasion resistance and who are we to argue. Alpinestars have started using thermoplastic in some of their boots too such as the Alpinestars Supertech or S-MX plus boots. So if you’re a fashion conscience biker you can make sure you get gloves to match your boots.

Welcome to Alpinestars Gloves

Welcome to Alpinestars Gloves

  Alpinestars gloves are everywhere these days. If you watch Formula One, Motocross or NASCAR you’ll see that the majority of the drivers use these Alpinestars gloves due to their comfort and technical safety they offer. It might be interested for you to know that the company takes its name from the English translation of the Italian word “stelle alpine” which strangely enough means “Alpine Stars” in English. Useless or useful fact of the day you can decide! I first came across when I got my first bike and I managed to negotiate an old pair of Alpinestars gloves in with the cost of the bike. I fell in love with them that day and it’s the only brand I’d ever consider using when on my bike. The other reason I love them along with the comfort and safely value is because of how cool they look. Some of the designs are simply beautiful. Alpinestars have developed a fashion line aimed at both me and women for all there sporting needs. It’s more a sports lifestyle thing these days but with a functional purpose.

Scorpion EXO-1000 helmet


Scorpion EXO-1000 helmet


As I said, the Scorpion EXO 1000 Helmet is absolutely chocked with features. First and foremost is the long-hyped HelmetPump design that had the buzz for this helmet going well before its release. Beyond that, you've got the trio of Scorpion features: the SpeedShift quick-change shield system, allowing you to swap out shields without tools in ten seconds or less; the EverClear fog-free faceshield with a scratch resistant coating; and the KwikWick antimicrobial removable washable moisture-wicking liner. The ventilation system is fully adjustable and will keep your head nice and cool (couple with the moisture-wicking liner) at long distance rides.


One of the newest motorcycle helmet offerings from Scorpion, the Scorpion EXO-1000 helmet continues their trend of packing a ton of next-level features into a reasonably-priced premium helmet. Easy open/close vents are located at the brow, the chin, and the top of the head with a large open/close exhaust vent at the back of the head for venturi effect airflow. This is without question a premium touring helmet. It's also DOT & Snell certified. The EXO1000 is designed to be ridden in the upright position for long distances, and will flow a great deal of air, making it a great premium touring motorcycle helmet option.


Everyone remembers those shoes from the 80s and 90s that you could pump up for a perfect custom fit. They've integrated that technology into the helmet and it works spectacularly: the cheek pads and neckroll inflate for a snug fit, and at the end of the ride a release button deflates for easy on/off. The next biggie on this helmet is the retractable internal sun visor system. The SpeedView Visor, as Scorpion calls it, eliminates the need to change shields when the sun comes out or fumble for a pair of sunglasses.

Helmets

Scorpion Helmets have a way of staying ahead of the game with their creative designs. In all, Scorpion Helmets are your best choices, you really worth it!

Many helmet brands simply private-label helmets purchased from generic mass manufacturers. And most other helmet brands sub-contract major portions of their manufacturing to smaller vendors. Scorpion does not-because we want to control every operation, every detail, to insure optimum quality, confidence-inspiring integrity and utmost efficiency.

The U.S. headquarters (The Nest) for Scorpion Sports is located in Lake Forest, CA. The 37,700 sq. ft. nerve center and warehouse includes the latest computerized technology for order entry, inventory management, customer service and order tracking. Dealer orders can be easily placed anytime on the website, or over the phone during business hours. And each order can be tracked online until it arrives at any dealership in America.

Alpinestars

Alpinestars makes a LOT of different gear for motorcycle riders and racers. In fact, they also make a large selection of leather and textile gloves. But we are going to review only ALPINESTARS “LEATHER” MOTORCYCLE GLOVES.

  Alpinestars leather motorcycle gloves contain short gloves, for street riding, touring or everyday commuting, as well as 3/4 gloves, which are a compromise between the longest sports gloves and their short gloves.

  Some of their short gloves feature perforated leather for maximum air-flow, as well as abrasion-resistant palms, which, combined together, offer excellent warm-weather performance.

  For Alpinestars top-of-the-line leather gloves, you'll see their full-length, full protection, sport/racing gloves, which feature superior knuckle protection, precurved fingers (for better fit and tactile feel), along with their very best leather protec
