Alpinestars GP Tech v5 Race Suit

Alpinestars GP Tech V5 1-Piece Leather Suit The Alpinestars GP Tech v5 1-Piece Leather Suit is meticulously tailored for high-speed performance and stability, essential for racers executing aggressive maneuvers on track days. Constructed from a fusion of kangaroo and bovine leathers, it delivers exceptional abrasion resistance and a conforming fit. Impact and heat from friction during slides are mitigated by dual layers of leather and a bonded Kevlar network. Functional and form-fitting, the suit uses Kevlar stretch panels and a pre-formed 3D waist accordion to enhance riders’ mobility without sacrificing aerodynamics. The engineered speed hump aligns with the S-R10 helmet, channeling airflow effectively, while silicone patches inside the legs enhance machine grip. It features anatomically designed GP Tech Knee Sliders and resilient triple-stitched seams for sustained track engagement. Riders’ comfort is addressed with a padded mesh liner and integrated Lycra inserts that promote air circulation, complemented by pre-curved sleeves and angled wrist zippers that alleviate pressure points. The lower leg construction is compatible with Supertech R boots, showcasing an integration of lightweight materials. Altogether, the Alpinestars GP Tech v5 enables racers to fully leverage their bikes’ capabilities, upholding stringent safety benchmarks.

Race suits are made to fit best in the riding position, making them uncomfortable to wear while standing upright. Second skin fit – In the riding position, the suit should fit snugly against your body without any excess fabric bunching and shouldn’t restrict movement or breathing. Account for ALL the gear – Wear all of your track gear when you try-on the suit to check for compatibility and proper fit. This includes: airbag, armor, back protector, base layer, boots, gloves, socks and yes… even your helmet! Like peas in a pod – Race suit sleeves are tapered to fit within full length gauntlet gloves & legs are tapered to fit within full height race boots. Break-in period – Keep in mind that leather stretches about 3-5% after the first few wears.
