From the fierce cold of the northern hemisphere to the warm shores of Australia or Argentina; riding the hard dusty dirt of California or the loamy trails of northern Europe, the fall season colors our riding experience differently depending on where we ride
The Alpinestars 2015 Fall Collection is truly global: no matter if your experience is warm, wet or freezing, our class leading-apparel and protection will keep you on the trails for longer. At Alpinestars we live to ride all year long, which is why our full range is guaranteed to cover all weather conditions.

MENTIONS: @AlpinestarsMTB
The clearance bin on their site is the secret stash. They have a flannel that's made of tech material like that one that goes on sale constantly at $20. Their "Guide" pant is fantastic. The Sandstone hooded jacket...awesome. We all find deals on this stuff elsewhere, but truth be told, I can't bring myself to wear it on the bike for the most part.
Kit all the way...TLD. The style baby...the style.
Amazon & REI carry the stuff.
I just used $0.50 worth of Tenacious Tape to save over $200 worth of stuff I tore up in a big crash in the park at Northstar.
Now my gear matches the patchwork of scars on my shins!
If you have this stuff & AquaSeal in your repair kit, there is not much in the gear world you cant fix.
I've used it to repair the palms of gloves after crashing, and in subsequent crashes learned that the ripstop nylon Tenacious Tape was far tougher & more abrasion resistant than the surrounding Clarino "leather" fabric.
Brilliant work Alpinestars: the inadvertent comedy generated by your reinvention of Mugatu's Derelicte line for mountainbikers makes Zoolander look bush league.
When you pedal uphill you start to warm quite fast, so generally you can ride just in short and jersey. I just use my windbreaker in the downhill because it gets chill with the speed or when its a windy day.
Stuff has been pretty bombproof for me so far and another buddy of mine (we both have the humvee lite shorts). They don't look like much but they've survived plenty of falls so far.
I personally find their 3/4 regular humvees to be cool and comfy as hell, too!
ps Alpinestars, I love the look of the men’s line, I just wish it came in my size
Nice looking stuff though..
