Alpinestars Fall 2014 MTB product line

Alpinestars has been making high end technical apparel and protective wear for nearly 50 years now for multiple platforms in a variety of sports ranging from skiing, surfing, motorsports and most importantly to us – cycling.

Here is a closer look at their 2015 line of technical apparel for mountain biking.  This year they’ve incorporated some cool new features and colorways.  Most noticeable is the addition of some great looking all weather outerwear that seems to be influenced by enduro pretty heavily.  At least from a design and functionality standpoint.
