4/5

More vibration transmission from Pedal

Was the one you received as per Image?
Except for the tip and Protector part, they are soft and not tiring to wear.
I didn't mind getting off the Motorcycle and walking around.
I have heard that the zipper is hard, but I had no particular difficulty when putting on and taking off the shoes, so I think it should not be a problem unless you are very inefficient.

[How did you feel about the Fit?
My normal shoes are 27.5 and the same size 27.5 (43) fit perfectly.
The toe was just a little extra and the width was just right besides. （I thought they would be too narrow.)
The heel, ankle, and ankle area feel soft and wrapped on the inside.
I used to wear Alpinestars FASTER 3, but even though the size was Exactly, the toes were not thick enough and my thumbnail was held down, causing pain when I wore them for a long time, but these had enough space and did not hurt.

How was your experience with it?
This is a comparison with Alpinestars' FASTER 3.
The soles seem to be a little thicker than usual. (Knee grip position is just a little bit higher than usual. (Knee grip position is just a little bit higher than usual.)
Grip power has definitely increased and I can move my body with ease. (Although FASTER 3 also grips well.)
If you are running, you can feel the wind around your ankles. (Other than that, they are not mesh, so they are the same as regular shoes.)
It is easy to move the ankle, and it is easy to do Rear brake and Shift change.
The vibration of the Engine transmitted from the Pedal comes directly to my feet. It usually makes my feet numb. (I guess I have to use cushiony insoles or socks to prevent this.)
Motorcycle with little vibration would not be a problem.

[Was there anything that disappointed you?
The Elastic band like thing on the back of the foot looks a little bit yucky. It looks like it will deteriorate if exposed to sunlight for a long time.

What are the specs of the product, such as protector?
I think almost all of them are like Protector. It seems to be the first problem for driving on public roads.
The inside is soft and comfortable without feeling Protector. View detail

SP-5 LEATHER GLOVE

Japanese Webike user

5/5

Low threshold, reliable Gloves

Was the one you received as per Image?
I was using the same one, but after about 2 years of use, it is a Repeat as it has been losing in some places.
I like the sewing and the beautiful embroidery of the Logo and Design.

[How did you feel about the Fit?
I bought it after trying it on at an actual store.
I think Alpinestars Gloves are available everywhere to some extent, so I recommend that you try them on before you buy.
(Even in the same size, there are differences in shape and balance from one manufacturer to another, so I tried many different sizes and decided on the one that best fit my needs. I have been Repeat since then).

How was your experience with it?
First of all, it is a short type, so you can easily attach it to your touring etc.
Protector is also everywhere, but since it is a Soft Type, it does not bother me and feels comfortable in my hand.
The skin is also thinner or the Grip feels good and secure.
For those who wear leather suit and go to Circuit, there will be something more proper, but for touring and driving on mountain passes, this is the most comfortable one to use.

[Was there anything that disappointed you?
None in particular. I think the price is reasonable. (for Alpinestars).

What are the specs of the product, such as protector?
Soft protector is included in key areas.
It will pucker when pressed. If you are looking for the best protection, Gloves with Hard protector is a better choice.
I think it is sufficient for less than a Circuit. （I fell once on a mountain road and my hands and wrists were unharmed, except for some stitching that came undone.)

GP FORCE LEATHER JACKET

Japanese Webike user

5/5

Leather jacket that I have been longing for!

What was the deciding factor in your purchase?
Started riding SS Motorcycle, I want to wear Alpinestars Leather jacket at least once!" I have been longing for it, and now that the 6R Custom has settled down, I finally have it.

[How was the product?
The inside of the shoulders and sleeves are made of StretchPolyamide and Premium Bobine Leather. It is a little heavy, but it is firm and comfortable. The lining is ThermalLiner of long sleeve type. (Cold-proof Material) The leather fabric is also thicker, so I wonder if it is large enough to be sturdy in winter without wearing thick innerwear. I think so. However, in the product description section, it says All-around type for year-round use The best time to use Jacket is spring, fall and winter.

[What is the Spec. of the Protectoretc.
Leather jacket is not worn in midsummer, so I would like to purchase one in autumn when it is more active. The jacket is a little tight, so I would like to make an impression after purchasing the Protector to see how it will feel with the chest and back protectors.

How did you feel about purchasing from Net?
I am located in a rural area, so my main purchasing method is online shopping. I went to the actual store and tried on the Alpinestars Leather jacket before purchasing. (By the way, my specs are:height 171, weight 66, chest 83, abdominal 84. 。 I have been trying to lose weight recently. The size I tried on in the actual store is 52. This season Ron TQuantity:1pc. would be Just size. But can you wear a leather jacket in summer when the highest temperatures are being recorded every year? And when it gets cold, can I wear only a long T-shirt? I was worried about these questions and decided to purchase the size 54. I tried on the jacket as soon as it arrived! I tried on the Parka with the ThermalLiner installed in the Fall and Winter Spec. and it was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Long TQuantity:The 1pc. is a little loose, but might be nice if you are working out! It is.
If you purchase a garment from Webig, you can return it if the size does not fit or if there is a difference in texture that you cannot see on the Net, this is a very helpful service for NetUser. There are some conditions for returning items. We recommend that you check the return conditions before trying on the item.

[Reference!
I was most troubled by the size chart of Alpinestars, which is difficult to understand compared to the size chart of FOR JAPAN MODEL MANUFACTURER. I took my own measurements of the Leather jacket54Size that I purchased, hoping that it will be helpful for those who are thinking of purchasing one in the future. The measurement method is to lay it flat. Please note that these are not perfect measurements, so please consider them as a reference only. This is the 6th image. View detail

TECH5 Boots [TEC5 Boots]

Japanese Webike user

4/5

It was easy to use, even for beginners.

[How is it used?
I bought a new one to run EnduroCourse at Narita MX Park.
I am new to Off-road and have only been to the Off-road Village once before.
I remember that the Boots at that time was O'Neil, but I no longer remember how it felt to use it.
I was looking for a good priced boot for beginners and was advised that Alpinestars' TEC5 would be a good choice.
Also, I am a motorcyclist whose main focus is on circuits, and I use Alpinestars for my boots, which was also a major reason for my choice of boots this time.

Was the one you received as per Image?
I felt that they were solid Boots as well as On road boots.
I didn't know how far to tighten the buckle adjustment, so I tightened it solidly for the time being.
How did you feel when you first put on Boots? "Not so tough, are you?" It was (laughs)
I had compared it to on road boots, but I wondered if it was possible to shift shift with this kind of boots, and if I could feel that I was stepping on the rear brake. I wondered if I could change the shift like this and if I could feel the rear brake being stepped on.

How was your experience with it?
After actually using it, I felt that I could move it more than I thought I could. Also, I ended up falling a lot.
I am glad I bought a solid Boots.
Once my foot got caught under the Motorcycle while going downhill, and if it had been a cheap one, I would have been injured.
As for the sole, it is an MXBoots, so it may not be as slippery as Enduro boots.
I have included a picture of Sole for your reference.
I didn't feel that I was slipping too much! I didn't feel that it was too slippery, but there were a few times when I slipped a few times on Course and couldn't stand on my feet.

[Points to note]
Size feeling, but I think it should be the same as the usual SneakersSize.
I am usually 26.5cm, so I chose size 8.
On road boots are 42Size (26.5cm).
If you want to wear tight, 41 is fine, but you can make some adjustments with Inner Sole, etc,
I thought the same Size as usual would be fine.
If you are really concerned about it, though, you should try it on first.

How did it compare to other products?
I think Boots is more maneuverable than O'Neil. View detail
