The Racing Absolute Leather Suit uses lessons learnt from the Moto GP World Championship & input from Alpinestars athletes to create a state-of-the-art racing suit which sets new benchmarks for protective technology available to riders. An example of this is the br&-new innovative aramid bonded leather that is found in the areas of the suit prone to high abrasion, the shoulders, knees, elbows, forearm, seat, & the sides of the back all have this added layer of protection along with dual-leather layers. This aramidic bonding is proven to significantly increase tear & abrasion resistance while also protecting the rider from heat transfer, particularly in the case of a long slide on the Tarmac. Body mapped to give a full-on racing fit, the Racing Absolute is made from premium grade 1.1mm kangaroo leather for high levels of abrasion resistance, lightness, flexibility & breathability. Features High level race suit incorporating Moto GP-derived technologies. Designed with body mapped race fit & pre-curved sleeves for optimum riding performance. Premium full kangaroo leather construction for lightness, flexibility & optimum levels of protection. Highly durable, flexible kangaroo leather features anatomical panels for high levels of movement & a superior fit. Strategically positioned accordion stretch panel inserts have been designed to accommodate Alpinestars airbag system, allowing expansion when the airbag inflates but also offering a high level of anatomical performance & a superior fit when riding without the system fitted. Tech-Air® compatible, Tech-Air® is the world’s first completely electronic, self-contained, full independent upper body motorcycle airbag system with no bike-to-rider set-up configurations required. An LED display on the sleeve indicates the airbag’s operational status, while an internal housing located in the certified back protector accommodates the system vest’s ECU. Patented leather bonded aramid grid reinforcements on the arm, back, seat, thigh & elbow areas to reduce heat transfer & prevent the skin from burning when sliding. This also gives more strength to the leather against tear & abrasion. New aramid reinforced stretch fabric panels on crotch, back of the leg & underarms to guarantee excellent levels of lightness, flexibility & breathability. Large perforated kangaroo leather panels are strategically placed to offer excellent levels of cooling airflow & comfort. Alpinestars approved, race-derived protectors on the elbow, shoulder, knee & tibia.
