Motorcyclists' Protective Clothing against Mechanical Impact General
Information
CARE & STORAGE
The protectors can be cleaned with a damp cloth and soapy water. Do not submerge the
protectors in water. Never clean the protectors with strong cleaning agents or solvents, as
these could weaken the materials or damage the integrity of the protectors. Care must be
taken to avoid bending the protectors, particularly during storage. Store the protectors
in a dry, ventilated area away from direct heat sources, including direct sunlight. Do not
place heavy objects on top of the protectors. Extract the protectors from the garment to
facilitate cleaning. Make sure that all of the removable protectors have been reinserted
into the garment before riding with the garment again. DO NOT USE the garment if the
removable protectors have not been reinserted into the garment or are missing. Using the
garment without the removable protectors will render the CE and UKCA certification invalid
and moreover provide no protection against impacts.
WARNING! Remember that for sensible motorcycling the full body must be
protected and as such the protector should be worn with correctly
CE and UKCA certified and fitting motorcycle clothing, boots, gloves,
and a homologated helmet.
MAINTENANCE
The protectors should be periodically inspected for wear and tear. Depending on the location
of the protectors in the garment, this may require that the protectors be removed from
the garment first. If the protectors are degraded, cracked, chipped, or delaminated then
the protector must be replaced. The protectors should also be replaced if they have been
subject to a severe impact, particularly if the plastic has lightened in color at the impact
point. In lesser impacts the protectors should be checked by an authorized Alpinestars'
Dealer before further use. A protector should only be used if it is in perfect condition with
no visible damage. Under no circumstances attempt to repair, alter, or modify the protector,
this includes the application of paints, stickers or dyes which will compromise the material
integrity of the protector.
LIFESPAN
The materials used by Alpinestars in its products are selected to maximize durability. Properly
caring for your Alpinestars products will also help ensure the longest possible lifespan.
Notwithstanding, all products have a limited lifespan and are subject to degradation and
natural breakdown of materials in the long term, through factors such as use, wear and
tear caused by your riding style, accidents, abrasions, how well you care for your product,
and storage and/or common environmental conditions - all of which effects the practical
lifespan of products.
Protectors having plastic parts have a limited lifespan due to stresses of riding and/or the
elements such as heat or sun light exposures.
