Alpinstars is jumping into the enduro fray with with three new products along with updates to several of its existing lines of apparel and protection gear. Aiming to offer “lightweight and flexible protection products” suited for the vagaries of enduro racing, Alpinestars is releasing the new Evolution Jacket, Faster Backpack, and F-Lite Glove.
Get the deets on the innovative new Evolution Jacket and the rest of your new enduro wardrobe after the break…
The Evolution Jacket might be their most intriguing new offering. Featuring full torso and shoulder protection with removable padding, the jacket includes a rear compartment for a hydration pack. While the sleeves do not appear to have any sort of hose clip, this might be a very attractive option for minimalists who want to shed the bulk and outboard weight of a backpack; two rear side mesh pockets could work for a multitool and tube. The reservoir pocket could potentially be ideal for ice bags or other products to regulate your temperature in extreme conditions to take advantage of the performance benefits of reducing your skin temperature.
The second generation of their Alps Knee Guard and Drop Jersey & Shorts are being reshuffled into the enduro deck. No word yet on pricing, check out the Alpinstars website after Eurobike wraps up.
