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.

Motorcycle helmet safety rules
When we talk about motorcycle safety, the first, the first thought of a helmet.

Helmets to play different roles, these roles can be:

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.
