FAQs
Alpinestars women’s gear uses performance-oriented patterns that fit close to the body to keep CE armor correctly positioned while you ride. Use your body measurements—chest, waist, hip, hand circumference, and foot length—and consult the size chart on each product page. If you plan to layer base/mid layers or use an airbag, allow additional room and confirm mobility in a riding stance.
Gloves should feel snug without numbness; boots should secure the heel with enough toe room for long rides; jackets and pants should not restrict reach or knee bend. To explore categories and fits, view women’s motorcycle pants, women’s gloves, and women’s motorcycle footwear.
Motorcycle apparel uses European EN standards that are widely referenced globally. Garments are rated under EN 17092; impact protectors and category-specific items have their own EN standards. Use this overview when comparing options in the collection:
| Item | Standard | What it indicates |
|---|---|---|
| Jackets, pants, suits | EN 17092 (Class AAA/AA/A) | Overall abrasion, tear, and seam strength; AAA is the highest garment class, followed by AA and A. |
| Impact protectors | EN 1621-1/-2/-3 | Level 1/2 performance for shoulder, elbow, hip, knee (‑1), back (‑2), and some chest protectors (‑3). |
| Gloves | EN 13594 | Impact and abrasion performance; may show Level 1 or Level 2 and KP (knuckle protection) marking. |
| Boots | EN 13634 | Footwear protection including abrasion, cut resistance, and transverse rigidity; Level 1 or Level 2. |
Many women’s garments are designated Tech‑Air® Compatible/Ready, meaning their patterning and stretch zones are engineered to accommodate an airbag’s deployment volume. Always check the product page for a clear compatibility note and choose sizing that accounts for the system’s space requirements.
For verification and setup, use the Tech‑Air® Compatibility Checker and explore current Tech‑Air® systems.
Select materials based on protection needs, airflow, and weather exposure:
| Material | Best for | Key properties |
|---|---|---|
| Leather | Sport/track and spirited road riding | Highest abrasion resistance and a close, stable fit; perforation adds ventilation. |
| Textile (including laminated waterproof) | Touring/adventure and variable weather | Weather protection with ventilation and pockets; pairs well with layers for 3‑season use. |
| Mesh/Textile hybrids | Urban/commuting in hot climates | Maximum airflow with strategically reinforced zones. |
Browse discipline‑focused options such as women’s road suits, women’s touring gear, and women’s urban gear.
For textiles, close zips/Velcro, remove armor and electronics, and machine wash cold on gentle with mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners; air‑dry away from high heat. Reproof the water‑repellent finish on shells when water stops beading.
Do not machine‑wash leather. Wipe with a damp cloth, let dry naturally, and condition with suitable leather products. Clean gloves and boots gently with mild soap and water, then air‑dry. Always follow the care label on the garment.
