Are Alpinestars true to size?

Alpinestars gear generally runs true to size but with a sportier, European fit, meaning it is slightly slimmer and more tailored than other brands. When choosing a size for race suits and jackets, consider your layering needs and body armour. Some jacket types, such as touring and textile options, offer a more relaxed fit. Always refer to the Alpinestars size guide for accurate measurements. It's usually safer to size up if you're between sizes, especially for bulkier riding gear.

Where are Alpinestars made?

Alpinestars is headquartered in Asolo, Italy, with product development and testing in California, USA. While Italians lead design and R&D, manufacturing is carried out in various global locations, including Europe and Asia, to meet worldwide demand while maintaining strict quality control. The brand's race gear is often produced in specialised facilities to ensure the highest standards for safety and performance.
