Many jackets in this collection are CE-certified to EN 17092 with performance classes such as A, AA, or AAA. These ratings indicate the garment’s tested abrasion, seam, and tear performance; urban-focused styles most commonly target A or AA, while some sport-leaning pieces may reach AAA. Impact protectors typically reference EN 1621-1 for shoulders/elbows and EN 1621-2 for backs; check each product page for its exact certification and included armor.
The collection spans breathable mesh/textile shells for hot weather, softshell options with durable water-repellent (DWR) finishes for light rain, and waterproof constructions using drop‑liner or laminated membranes for sustained wet conditions. Choose based on your climate and speed of travel, adding a thermal mid layer for colder months.
| Shell type | Best for | Weather notes |
|---|---|---|
| Mesh / Textile | Hot city rides | Maximum airflow; pair with mid layers for cool starts |
| Softshell (DWR) | Mild temps, light showers | Water‑repellent, not fully waterproof |
| Waterproof membrane | Wet/variable seasons | Windproof rain protection; add insulation for winter |
Alpinestars patterns prioritize a close, secure fit for riding posture; urban cuts may feel slightly more relaxed to allow everyday movement. Measure chest and waist, compare to the size chart, and consider your layering: if you plan to wear a hoodie or mid layer, allow room accordingly. Euro sizing is used on many garments—always reference the size chart and each product’s fit notes for final selection.
Many Alpinestars jackets are marked “Tech‑Air® Compatible/Ready,” meaning their pattern and stretch zones accommodate a Tech‑Air® system. Look for a clear compatibility note on the product page, then confirm using the Tech‑Air compatibility checker. To review available vests and systems, see Tech‑Air systems.
For textiles, remove armor and liners, close zips/Velcro, and wash cold on gentle with mild detergent; air dry away from heat. Reproof the DWR on shells when water stops beading. Leather should be wiped with a damp cloth and conditioned; do not machine‑wash or tumble‑dry leather. Always follow the garment’s care label for specific instructions.
