Bottes Supertech R

This collection features a comprehensive range of motorcycle apparel including jackets (leather and textile), pants, riding jeans, base layers, rain gear, and one-piece and two-piece suits. The apparel spans multiple riding disciplines—from sport and racing to adventure touring and urban commuting—with options designed for different weather conditions and protection needs. Each category incorporates Alpinestars' race-derived technology and Italian craftsmanship, offering CE-certified protection and premium materials like Nomex, Kevlar, and kangaroo leather.

Selecting the right jacket depends on your primary riding discipline and conditions. Sport and racing riders should consider road jackets with aerodynamic fits and track-focused protection, while adventure and touring riders benefit from adventure jackets with enhanced ventilation and all-weather capabilities. Urban commuters may prefer urban jackets that blend protection with everyday wearability.

Key factors include climate (summer mesh vs. winter insulated), protection level (CE armor standards), and compatibility with airbag systems like Tech-Air®. Leather jackets offer superior abrasion resistance for sport riding, while textile options provide versatility for touring and commuting.

Many garments in this collection are designed for compatibility with Alpinestars' Tech-Air® electronic airbag systems. Compatible jackets feature specific internal construction and fit allowances to accommodate the airbag vest underneath without restricting movement or protection deployment. Look for products marked as Tech-Air® compatible or visit our compatibility checker to verify which apparel works with your Tech-Air® system.

For maximum protection, Alpinestars offers both standalone Tech-Air® systems that can be worn under compatible jackets and integrated garments with built-in airbag technology. This modular approach allows riders to upgrade their protection across multiple pieces of riding gear.

Proper care extends the life and performance of your motorcycle apparel. Most textile garments can be machine washed on a gentle cycle with cold water—always remove CE armor and close all zippers and fasteners before washing. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and high-heat drying, which can damage technical fabrics and waterproof membranes.

Leather garments require specialized care: wipe clean with a damp cloth and use leather conditioner periodically to maintain suppleness. For waterproof/breathable garments, reapply DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment as needed to restore weather protection. Always check the care label inside each garment for specific instructions, and inspect CE armor regularly for signs of impact or degradation.

Alpinestars motorcycle apparel meets or exceeds current European CE safety standards. Look for CE-certified armor in shoulders, elbows, back, hips, and knees—these protectors are tested for impact absorption and must meet EN 1621 standards. Many garments feature Level 1 or Level 2 CE armor, with Level 2 offering higher impact protection suitable for sport and track riding.

Complete suits and jackets designed for racing use often carry FIA or FIM homologation, certifying them for professional competition. For maximum protection, consider garments compatible with Tech-Air® airbag systems, which provide additional chest, back, and shoulder protection during crashes. All protection standards are clearly marked in product specifications to help you choose appropriate gear for your riding intensity.
