Extensions of motorcycle gloves

Extensions of motorcycle gloves
Often summer motorcycle gloves don't have them but all others do. It's the part which goes over your sleeve to avoid wind blowing in your jacket. A disadvantage is that rain can run down your sleeve and into your glove. Still the advantage is better, just tuck away the glove extensions under your jacket during the rain.

A low hanging sun can blind you to the extreme. Some motorcycle helmets have a nice sunshade built into them, very useful. However a pair of sunglasses does the same trick, you choose.

The unique feature of Alpinestars GP Tech gloves

The biggest difference you’ll find between the GP Tech gloves and other Alpinestars motorcycle gloves  in the same category such as the Held and Kushitani gloves is the wrist gauntlet. Rather than being made from leather its the moulded thermoplastic again which provides such a fantastic level of safety and protection for the rider. One other unique feature is the way the fingers are connected on the gloves. The third and fourth fingers are connected which is supposed to help prevent finger roll if you’re in an accident. A great deal of research has been done by Alpinestars in this area hence this unique feature. I’m still not sure if this is present in the mid ranged gloves such as the Alpinestars gloves, I really have to check that out!

Wonderful Alpinestars GP Tech from the stars

Well first of all you get the comfort of knowing that they are endorsed by some of the biggest names in MotoGP and WSB. Former AMA Superbike champion Nicky Hayden is a fan and uses the gloves regularly. Former 500cc work champion Kenny Roberts Jr also uses the GP Tech gloves. Theres a couple of former World Superbike champions who also endorse the gloves. These are Troy Bayliss and Troy Corser. Finally you might also be interested to know that AMA stars Miguel duhamel and the Bostrom brothers also use Alpinestars  gloves. So you have a few world champions in various racing sports endorsing the produce you’ll know that you are buying real quality from the stars. Alpinestars  gloves as that they are developed with profession GP racers in mind and that is definitely the case. How else could you explain such wonderful endorsements from these world champions?

Useful Information on Scorpion Helmets' Warranty

  Wearing a helmet is required by law for people who drive motorcycles down the highway. A motorcycle helmet reduces the chances of a fatal head or face injury if a driver figures out in a motorcycle accident. Unprotected motorcycle drivers are very susceptible to fatal injuries without a helmet.
  To address the need of this essential protective gear, many companies produce motorcycle helmets. One of the most popular and well received helmet producers is Scorpion Exo-1000.
  Their specialty products, which are Scorpion helmets, are engineered by some of the world's best helmet designers. Their products are composed of state-of-the-art materials. They use the newest manufacturing methods to manufacture these helmets. Finally, the products are tested rigorously to ensure that the helmet bought by a customer is high-quality, durable, and pleasantly aesthetic. The company also makes sure that their protective headgear meets or even surpasses the required safety standard.
  However, production mishaps are unavoidable, and they sometimes do occur. A helmet that finds its way to the store may be defective. They may be damaged during manufacturing, or something may have gone wrong during the manufacturing process. Either way, it is not the customer's fault for accidentally buying a defective helmet.
  In this case, the company offers a warranty. This enables customers who bought these faulty helmets to acquire another one without any defects free of charge. But before availing of the warranty, it is important to know how this service works.
  All Scorpion helmets carry a three-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. That means you can return the product anytime three years after the date of purchase should evidence of manufacturing or shipping defects is detected. The warranty covers repairs and replacement of parts. It also covers labor and services that are necessary to repair the helmet.
  This warranty does not apply, however, to normal wear and tear. That means you can't return the helmet just because the paint is faded or chipped due to frequent usage.
  It does not apply to deliberate mishandling. If the helmet served its purpose (i.e., the motorcyclist figured out in an accident, and the helmet, though destroyed, was able to protect him), it is not covered with the warranty.
  If the helmet is modified in any way, the warranty does not apply. Such modifications include but are not limited to installation of audio or lights systems, drilling the shell or liner, carving or compressing the liners, and repainting of the outer shell.
  To avail of the warranty, you would need to fill out a warranty form. You should then ship the defective product to the manufacturer; however, if this is not applicable or is inconvenient for you, you can return the product to a local dealer. You would also need to prepay the mailing charge through postal money or credit.
  If everything goes well, the company will send you a repaired helmet. If the defective helmet is discontinued or no longer available, SportExo will provide you with a model that has equal or even better value.

Tips In Buying The Right Motorcycle Helmet

Although most people do not actually consider them as essentials and will in fact buy them last, motorcycle helmets are one of the most important accessories when you have a motorcycle. In fact, state laws have included the wearing of  Scorpion motorcycle helmets. This, lawmakers say, will be able to prevent major injuries should accidents happen. Helmets protect the person from suffering from head injuries that are potentially dangerous and even fatal. Passengers are even asked to wear helmets especially when cruising at high speeds.
  Below are some tips that will help you buy the right motorcycle helmet.
        1. Does it meet the DOT standard?
  Before buying a helmet, make sure that what you have chosen meets with the criteria set by the Department of Transportation’s Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 218. You can determine this by looking for the symbol of the DOT on the helmet.
  You will also find a label inside the Scorpion exo-1000 helmet that provides you with essential information about the Scorpion helmets such as the manufacturer’s name, the year and the month the helmet was manufactured, the model number, the size of the helmet, the materials used for its construction and of course some information about the company. Make sure that both the logo and the label is present.
        2. Is it quality-made?
  Helmets should be made from a firm polystyrene layer or Styrofoam layer that will help protect your head from injury. The layer should be an inch thick and should weigh about three pounds. It should be simple constructed with none of the embellishments that will only cause injury in your head such as spikes or other protruding decorations. Chin straps with sturdy rivets should be also be present as this will help keep the helmet in place.
        3. Does it fit your style?
  Scorpion exo-1000 need not be out of style just because it is considered as a safety gear. It can also be an avenue where one can make a fashion statement. Try looking for great illustrations on the outer shell of the helmet. Some people even have the illustrations custom-made.
        4. Does it offer full protection?
  Helmets that protect the whole face will of course serve you in good stead during collision. The plastic face shields will also protect you from the wind, the dust, rain, insects and road debris that are thrown up by passing vehicles. If you do not want helmets with the shield on them, buy a separate goggles that will help protect your eyes. One thing that you should know is that windshields are not enough to protect you.

Alpinestars GP Tech Gloves

So you’ve decided like the rest of the world that Alpinestars gloves are incredible and you absolutely need to get a pair right away but you don’t know where to start. Well it depends on your needs and your budget. One of the most popular types of glove that Alpinestars sells is the GP Tech model. Now they will set you back well over $200 so they are by no means the cheapest out there but if you were looking for cheap you probably wouldn’t be looking at Alpinestars. They really are top of the line Alpinestars motorcycle gloves though and well worth the money if you can afford it. They come in the same sort of category as the Kushitani Hyper Racing and GPR IV gloves. Definitely in the same price bracket too. These are the very top of the range gloves you can get for motorcyclists but what do you really get for your money?

Introduction of Alpinestars Gloves

    The company started out way back in 1963 in Italy and started off making hiking and ski boots. They moved swiftly on to making boots for motocross racing. In the 1990’s the company really moved on and branched out into making protective  Alpinestars jackets and Alpinestars gloves which we all know and have come to love today. You can also get a full leather suit for racing which is a bit pricey but it’s well worth the money if you can afford it. Personally I’ve got a few pairs of gloves and that’s about as far as the budget can stretch at the moment. I do have my eyes on a cool pair of Alpinestars Gloves and a leather jacket. One amazing fact I found out today is that Alpinestars used to make brand mountain bikes but unfortunately stopped production in 1996. They make amazing motocross gear so I can only imagine how wonderful the mountain bikes would have been. I wonder if they still sell them on Ebay. Worth a look later.
  Anyway Alpinestars have offices in Tokyo and Los Angeles and of course they have a strong presence in Italy. Most of the research and development still takes place in Italy. The brand is today worn by MotoGP World Champions Nicky Hayden and Casey Stoner so if you ever were in any doubt about the quality of Alpinestars gloves then that should set your mind at ease. Nicky Hayden wears the famous Alpinestars GP Tech gloves if you’re looking the buy the same pair. He’s also been known to wear the Alpinestars GP Pro gloves. The equipment is also used in Formula One and NASCAR with recent champions Fernando Alonso and Jimmie Johnson helping to develop the gear such as gloves, footwear, Nomex suits and even underwear. You can appreciate how fast these guys are going in their vehicles and so safety is one of the key features. This is where Alpinestars gloves and equipment really excel especially with the motorcycle gloves.

Welcome to Alpinestars Gloves

Alpinestars gloves are everywhere these days. If you watch Formula One, Motocross or NASCAR you’ll see that the majority of the drivers use these gloves due to their comfort and technical safety they offer. It might be interested for you to know that the company takes its name from the English translation of the Italian word “stelle alpine” which strangely enough means “Alpine Stars” in English. Useless or useful fact of the day you can decide! I first came across when I got my first bike and I managed to negotiate an old pair of Alpinestars gloves in with the cost of the bike. I fell in love with them that day and it’s the only brand I’d ever consider using when on my bike. The other reason I love them along with the comfort and safely value is because of how cool they look. Some of the designs are simply beautiful. Alpinestars have developed a fashion line aimed at both me and women for all there sporting needs. It’s more a sports lifestyle thing these days but with a functional purpose.

wholesale helmets

My understanding is that the Scorpion helmets is the replacement for the Quantum II. My last two Scorpion helmets have been the Arai Quantum II, and after 800+ miles, the scorpion-exo-700 has been a superior fit for me. It hugs the contours in my face better, and fits around my chin more securely. Plus, it's quiet and comfortable.
For those "reviewers" who are saying the cheek pads are too tight, mark across forehead, etc. , I would say, maybe the scorpion-exo-900 is not the correct helmet for your head and face shape.
Finding a good helmet that fits is more "art" than science; there is no good or bad helmet, there is the helmet that fits YOU:) Find THAT hel
First, I have to say, dealing with Revzilla was a real pleasure. Package arrived in 1 week exactly even though i'm in the middle east at the moment. The Scorpion exo-1000 is everything i expected in terms of quality and I like the fact that it does not have an overly exaggerated venting system like the GP. I must admit that even though I watch all the clips on you tube on changing the visor, that it was still a very tedious affair and at one point I thought I recked it when the side panel popped off during one of my attempts. The one the worked for me was changing the visor with the helmet on. Don't know why, it just did on my first attempt. Overall, i think its the wholesale helmets and would definitely recommend it to anyone.

New features of Alpinestars SP-1

  The main difference I have noticed with the Alpinestars motorcycle gloves is with the finish. Incidentally these gloves are also marketed as Alpinestars gloves just in case you were wondering they are the same thing! So the finish, compared to the Alpinestars gloves or Alpinestars GP Tech gloves the finish is a bit cheap. You may find that there are long threads hanging or the leather has not quite been cut to the fit you would expect. I guess Alpinestars can get away with it since its been marketed as a mid range glove. If you can live with the inferior finish then there is no reason not to buy these gloves. They will provide you with an excellent level of protection and come at a fantastic price. The cheapest I have seen the Alpinestars SP1 gloves are about $100 and its a great bargain at that price.

  Alpinestars gloves are also on the market. You’ll also find them listed as Alpinestars SP-2 gloves and are very similar to the SP1 model but are even cheaper.

  The SP-1 range also come in Alpinestars gloves Stella SP-1 format which is directed completely at the female market. It’s touted as having a cut specifically to fit a ladies hand and so it will fit much better.

Alpinestars SP-1 Gloves

   Most of the Alpinestars gloves I have looked at so far have been pretty much at the top of the range. I hope I haven’t scared anyone off with the cost of these gloves. There are so called mid ranged biking gloves out there if that’s what you’re after. I know not everyone has $300 to spend on a pair of gloves so if you’re looking for that Alpinestars quality but your budget doesn’t quite stretch that far how about going for the Alpinestars gloves? They are aimed at general road use, you won’t catch any of the big named MotoGP stars using them but then hey how many of us are going to get to that level? Not me I know that much! Don’t let the ‘mid-range’ tag full you into thinking that you’re buying an inferior product though. They are stunning looking gloves and will provide you with an exceptionally high level of protection no matter what type of vehicle you’re on.

  The Alpinestars motorcycle gloves are constructed from leather and the thickness of the leather varies from point to point on the gloves. Obviously the areas which require most protection have the thickest area of leather. Kevlar is also present which acts as additional abrasion resistance for that top quality protection. The knuckles are made up of carbon fiber and carbon fiber sliders are also present and correct on the fingers. As standard on the Alpinestars gloves these days is the ventilation holes to let a little air in to your hands for those long summer rides. These are present on the fingers and the wrist area. The wrist gauntlet is also rather familiar as it is the standard dual Velcro closure. The fit of these gloves is excellent and comes in various different sizes so you should find a pair to suit your needs. It is possible to get small Alpinestars gloves as I know this is a common query especially with the Alpinestars Alloy Gloves.

Scorpion Helmets in Hollywood

  Dean McDermott, co-star of the Tori & Dean show featured on the Oxygen Channel, isn't your average Hollywood TV celebrity. He's as much a Scorpion motorcycle helmets enthusiast as the rest of us. He's been riding bikes since the ripe age of 12 and recently got the urge to take to the race track. So 'Scorpion USA' hooked him up with a full-custom race suit and helmets to get the job done. He now has his WERA racing license and has been chiseling his knee-dragging skills ever since. He's getting faster and part of that process is tossing the bike along the way. He's walked away from 2 crashes. One at low speed and another at over 100mph when the front end pushed out. Take a journey through Dean's trials and tribulations in trying to balance family and his need for speed by browsing through the below video's and tune in to the new season of "Tori & Dean - Home Sweet Hollywood" on the Oxygen Channel.

Scorpion Urban Destroyer Helmet

(Lake Forest, CA May 17, 2010) - It is survival of the fittest in the urban jungle, so Scorpion Helmets has decided to cry havoc and let slip with the latest Scorpion EXO-1000 helmet  protection system: The Urban Destroyer! Designed to keep streetfighters cool no matter how hot the action gets this summer, the Destroyer jacket starts with a vented poly mesh shell, bolstered by fully ventilated CE-approved body armor at the elbows and shoulders.
  The poly mesh shell also gets ballistic nylon panels in the high impact areas for when you are in a tight scrape, not to mention the fact that the Urban Destroyer also has your back, literally. There is a full-length back protector compartment, complete with a P.E. foam pad in place. Internally, a lightweight perforated liner makes for maximum air flow.
  Additional refinements include two generous hand warmer pockets as well as an interior storage pocket. Reflective trim has been incorporated on the arms and back of the jacket for improved nighttime visibility. Dual waist-adjustment snaps and Velcro® arm adjustment tabs help keep the jacket or sleeves from flapping at triple digit speeds. The Urban Destroyer jacket comes in a basic black, bright blue or vivid red, ranging in size from S up through XXL.
  Capping things off are the matching scorpion-exo-400 Urban Destroyer helmets. Featuring an advanced polycarbonate composite construction, the shell's aero-tuned design has been wind-tunnel tested to ensure things stay quiet inside when all hell is breaking loose outside. The SpeedShift® quick-change shield system makes for simple, tool-less faceshield changes in less than 10 seconds. Speaking of shields,  Scorpion Helmets optically correct faceshields are treated with anti-scratch hardened coating and the exclusive EverClear® no-fog technology. Although the destroyed urban environment graphics look killer, these lids will not lay waste to your wallet as the EXO-400 retails for right around $159.95.
