Alpinestars gloves and boots
Posted: Mon Jun 16, 2008 10:03 pm
My old Sparco boots and gloves have done me proud but they are over 5 years old now and the boots are knackered. Great timing on my part meant that I could use some previously spoken for dosh to equip myself with some safety gear, just in time for a few events.
Being an old tart I was equally concerned with the aesthetics as the performance and no-ones product range is more bling that Alpinestars
8)
The lightest, most fire retardant product range is ludicrously titled (and priced) but Mr Hayward of AP Tuning sourced them for me at a really cracking price. Looks like all of the chocolate biscuits have started paying off :lol:
The Gloves

* FIA Approved/Complies with New FIA 8856-2000 standard.
* SFI 3.3/5 approved.
* All Nomex construction.
* Ergonomically positioned pittards micro perforated leather palm and finger reinforcements with minimal padding for sensitivity and grip.
* Padded knuckle protection.
* Alpinestars exclusive cuff opening design.
* Velcro wrist closure for secure fit.
These little puppies are gorgeous and way more comfortable than my previous Sparco jobbies, themselves
