A Rider’s Guide to Alpinestars Motorcycle Clothing & Technology

At Bridge Motorcycles, Exeter, we stock a carefully chosen range of Alpinestars motorcycle clothing, gloves, boots, helmets and armour—trusted by riders across adventure, road, and race disciplines. Known for their innovation in rider safety and comfort, Alpinestars has built a reputation for delivering gear that performs in real-world conditions.

But what makes their gear stand out? Here’s a closer look at the technology behind Alpinestars equipment, and why it’s trusted by everyone from daily commuters to MotoGP racers.

Textile Innovation for Real-World Riders

From the Andes Air and Halo jackets to the AMT Storm range, Alpinestars’ textile garments are designed to handle the UK's unpredictable weather. They incorporate abrasion-resistant fabrics like 600D polyester, mesh ventilation zones, and waterproof membranes such as Drystar® to keep riders dry and comfortable.

The AMT Storm jacket and trousers, for example, offer modular layering—ideal for adventure riders facing changing conditions on long rides.

Leather Protection for the Track & Road

For performance-focused riders, we stock the GP Force Leather Airflow Jacket and GP Force Lurv One-Piece Suit. These feature full-grain leather, DFS sliders, and perforated ventilation zones, offering top-level impact protection and rider mobility. CE-certified armour is integrated as standard for serious road or track use.

Helmet Technology: Meet the Supertech R10

Alpinestars’ commitment to rider safety has expanded into head protection. We now carry the Alpinestars Supertech R10 FIM - Gloss/Matt Carbon, a cutting-edge racing helmet certified to the highest safety standards. It features a carbon shell, multi-density EPS, and an advanced ventilation system designed for both high-speed aerodynamics and all-day comfort.This is top-tier protection for sport riders and track enthusiasts looking for premium performance with FIM homologation. 

Glove Design: Grip, Feel & Safety

We stock a wide range of Alpinestars gloves designed for different riding needs. Options like the SP-8 V3 use goat leather palms, knuckle guards, and touchscreen compatibility, while short-cuff styles like the SMX-1 Air V2 offer breathable, flexible comfort for warmer conditions.

Boots Built for the Ride

Alpinestars boots are engineered with rider-specific technologies that balance safety, mobility, and all-day comfort. Whether you're racing, touring, or riding daily, their footwear features multi-compound soles, integrated ankle protection, and flex zones for better control on and off the bike.

For sport and road riders, the SMX Plus V2 Boots feature Alpinestars’ Multi-Link Control system for enhanced ankle support and streamlined profile for aggressive riding. Touring riders can benefit from the RT-8 Gore-Tex Boots, which combine a GORE-TEX membrane with a walkable sole design—ideal for longer days in varied conditions.

For adventure riding, the Belize Drystar Boots use Drystar® waterproof technology, alongside a mid-height chassis for added mobility. And for casual riders, boots like the J-6 Waterproof and CR-X Drystar Shoes discreetly pack in CE-certified protection, all-weather grip, and street-style comfort. Explore all Alpinestars boots at Bridge Motorcycles here.
