FAQs
Alpinestars' motorcycle rain gear collection includes waterproof jackets, rain pants, rain suits, and over-suits designed for various riding disciplines including street, touring, and adventure riding. Each piece features advanced waterproof membranes, sealed seams, and packable designs that provide reliable weather protection without compromising mobility or safety. The collection ranges from lightweight emergency rain layers to full-featured touring rain systems with ventilation and reflective detailing.
Alpinestars rain gear is designed to fit over your regular riding gear, so it's typically sized to accommodate layering. For the best fit, consider sizing up if you plan to wear it over bulky protective jackets or armor. Rain suits and over-pants should allow full range of motion when worn over your riding equipment. Check the specific product's size chart and consider that packable rain gear tends to run true to size with extra room built in for layering, while dedicated touring rain systems may offer adjustable features for a more customized fit.
Yes, most Alpinestars rain gear is specifically engineered to fit over protective motorcycle jackets, including those with CE-certified armor and Tech-Air® airbag systems. Rain suits and over-jackets feature generous cuts and articulated designs that accommodate the bulk of protective equipment without restricting movement or compromising the functionality of airbag systems. For riders using Tech-Air® technology, ensure the rain gear provides sufficient room for proper airbag deployment—our touring rain systems are tested for compatibility with airbag-equipped jackets.
To maintain waterproof performance, clean your Alpinestars rain gear with mild soap and cold water, avoiding harsh detergents or bleach that can damage waterproof membranes. Air dry completely before packing—never use a dryer or direct heat sources. Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in the included stuff sack to protect from UV exposure and contamination. Periodically reapply DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to restore water-beading performance on outer fabrics. Inspect sealed seams regularly and repair any damage promptly to maintain weather protection. Proper care ensures your rain gear remains reliable for years of riding.
