This motorbike racing suit is made for the ladies, which is demonstrated by the ‘Stella’ in the name but even more clearly by the cut and the specific shape that underline how Alpinestars not merely created a ‘smaller men’s version’ with this suit.
It has been researched and then some. That’s what they say in Italy and we tend to believe them. The Stella GP Plus 1PC motorbike racing suit is a leather (one-)piece of ART. Comfortable and with more than enough freedom of movement, performance-oriented and with loads of protection all encompassed in a very complete and finished unit. Premium quality, as we might have expected from Alpinestars.
Lots of attention was given to the specific fit for ladies: the higher waistline and special hip, chest and tummy pattern create an authentic and yet comfortable ‘racing’ cut. The Stella GP Plus 1PC motorbike racing suit follows the natural curves of the (female) body thanks to a number of specifically applied innovative, directional leather stretch lines. This allows you to feel sure of your performing, active racing protective gear.
This motorcycle racing suit is Tech-Air® ready and can be fitted with the Tech-Air® 10 Airbag System with expanded hip protection, or the Tech-Air® 5 Airbag System.
The racing fit is obvious: bent knees, arms and a body that is most comfortable in a bent-over sitting position; it’s clear that this was made to sit/lie on a motorcycle. The elastic panelling extends from the knees to the hips, up to the chest area. Soft and supple cowhide leather is obviously the main component of a racing suit like this, with consequently the more than average wear-resistant properties. Also, because additional layers of leather were added, where appropriate. On the arms and legs, the cowhide has been perforated for ventilation purposes. This evidently means that waterproofness is not one of the Stella GP Plus 1PC-motorbike racing suit’s qualities.
The race-worthy impact protection can be split into a number of components which means that neither you nor the racing suit will do the same. Note-worthy are the DFS-armour (‘slide, not roll’), the internal GP-R Lite-impact protection and the Nucleon hip protectors.
A CE-certified Nucleon Race back protector can be fitted optionally.
A removable comfort lining with zipper and with Polygene treatment® for prolonged freshness turn this Stella GP Plus one-piece racing suit into an absolute must for sporty female racers. And CE-certified motorbike gear, according to CE – Category II EN17092-standards – AA classification.
Do you feel that a one-piece suit is overdoing it a little? Alpinestars cuts this right in half and gladly (and expertly) produces a two-piece version: the Alpinestars Stella GP Plus 2PC motorcycle suit.
We recommend regular treatment with a water-repellent maintenance product. This treatment will prevent the jacket from getting soaking wet and will also prevent dirt from sticking to the jacket. For longer-term maintenance, we recommend using a spray for matte leather, so that the leather remains supple.
