You wear a hoodie like this when you would actually get on your bike with a normal hoodie, but you don't for obvious reasons. Safety, that is. That you won't go on a trip around the world, or break speed records, seems logical to us.
This is suitable for commuting in the city.
And 'suitable' is an understatement: not only does it look good and casual, it is also safe and practical. The fact that Alpinestars let this Ageless - literally 'ageless' hoodie - be a hoodie in the first place, is a positive thing. So count on 'casual', with a kangaroo pocket at the front and knitted sleeve ends and waistband. The kangaroo pocket has two zippers, because you don't want to lose anything while you're on the road.
But apart from that: this hoodie can hardly be distinguished from a regular hoodie. And yet ... the abrasion resistance of the material is underneath, at shoulder level and in the sleeves. The Nucleon Flex shoulder and elbow protectors are impact protection that counts. Many other Alpinestars motorcycle clothing counts on this.
Who wants to, can integrate a Nucleon Plasma back protector (level 2 certified) or Nucleon KR-CELLi back protector (level 1 certified). Everything has been provided.
The combination with a good pair of motorcycle jeans is obvious.
There is maintenance clothing and then there is clothing maintenance. Good, solid motorcycle clothing is an investment in comfort and personal safety. So invest in its maintenance after your purchase and enjoy your gear for longer.
We put the best tips & tricks on this maintenance page.
