Alpinestars or Dainese: which should I choose?
They are the two big Italian premium brands and there is no single answer. Alpinestars has a racier fit and a more integrated airbag (Tech-Air); Dainese bets on ergonomics and D-Air. For track and sport riding, Alpinestars; for a tight second-skin fit, Dainese. Both excel on the road.
What alternatives to Alpinestars are there?
For a direct rival in price and quality, Dainese is the obvious alternative. Rev'it! (Dutch) is very strong in touring and adventure. To spend less without giving up safety, look at RST, Furygan or Held. And in the budget range, Bering or Richa are plenty for city and road use.
What is Alpinestars Europe (eu.alpinestars.com)?
Alpinestars is an Italian brand, founded in 1963 in Asolo (Treviso). eu.alpinestars.com is its official store for Europe: it sells direct and ships to the European Union and the UK. It carries the full European catalogue for road, motocross, car racing and MTB.
Where to buy Alpinestars in Europe?
The official European Alpinestars store (eu.alpinestars.com) ships to the European Union and the UK and is the reference for the full catalogue. In Spain, retailers like Motocard or FC-Moto stock much of the range with shipping and returns. Avoid no-name outlets: technical gear is heavily counterfeited.
What size should I choose in Alpinestars?
Alpinestars uses European sizing and tends to a slim cut, especially in jackets and race suits. Measure chest, waist and hips (and hand circumference for gloves) and check each garment's chart. If you hesitate between two sizes in racing gear, pick the tighter one: leather gives with use.
How much does Alpinestars gear cost?
It is a premium brand. Gloves run from around €60-80 (SP-8) to over €250 (GP Pro); jackets from €200-300 (textile) to €700+ (sport leather); boots from €200 (SMX-6) to €500 (Supertech R); race suits from €1,000 to €2,500. The Tech-Air airbag adds between €500 and €1,000.
Is the Tech-Air airbag worth it?
If you ride daily or on the road, yes: it is the most mature autonomous airbag on the market and cuts the risk of serious torso injury. The Tech-Air 3 (or 5) covers street use; the Tech-Air 10 is for the track. It is the main reason many pick Alpinestars over cheaper brands.
