Some jacket highlights from Alpinestars’ Spring<br />
collection (that also features many variations<br />
of footwear and boots). The Atem V3 garment<br />
(700 dollars) is based on the successful leather<br />
suit and comes in four different colour combinations.<br />
The race profiling is clear from the<br />
construction of the 1.3mm leather ‘chassis’ to<br />
the aero back hump and the focus on cooling<br />
with taslon fibre and nylon closures. This is not<br />
just for sport though. Handy additions like a<br />
waterproof inner pocket and Alpinestars’ Hyper-<br />
Res Stretch Fibre mean it’s a comfy fit.<br />
The Caliber jacket (549.95 dollars) has chest<br />
and back pad compartments and a removable<br />
thermal lining and is a step more toward street<br />
‘fashion’ rather than the track orientation of the<br />
Atem. Moving further along the spectrum is the<br />
Crazy Eight (399.95) in grey or beige and this<br />
leather piece could be easily worn without a<br />
motorcycle in sight. <strong>On</strong> the whole Alpinestars’<br />
portfolio of jackets and the myriad of materials<br />
and needs is tremendously vast. Peruse<br />
the website for the right model and purpose<br />
(as well as full specs) and then get along to a<br />
dealer to try.
