Alpinestars GP Tech Gloves

The Alpinestars GP tech gloves are the top end of quality produced by Alpinestars. Some of the features are the kangaroo leather palm with direct inject Kevlar & the protection against rolling fingers with their patented finger/nuckle sliders. If that's not good enough, the entire top of the Alpinestars GP tech glove is reinforced with knit Kevlar.

Pittards Armor Tan leather is used across the GP tech glove. This is about as rough & touch as you can get.

You might balk that the price is just under $300, but think of how many gloves have torn, cracked, or worn out in the past. The Alpinestars GP tech gloves are not those kinds of gloves.

They are only concepts from the Kazakh marketing agency Good!, but with enough interest, maybe we’ll see them produced one day. We’d love to see more wacky designs like these in racing, how can we forget the infamous, AGV’s ‘big-face’ Valentino Rossi lid, penned by design legend Drudi Performance.

Bell Star Viper Motorcycle Helmet

Back in 1967 the Bell Star debuted as the world’s first full-face motorsports helmet and set the world on fire. First at the Indianapolis 500 but soon thereafter at motorcycle races, and finally on streets and roads all over the country. And while at first blush, the only similarity between the Bell Star of 1967 and the Bell Star of 2008 would seem to be the name, there’s really a lot more to it.

Three Shell Sizes - Most helmets only have two shell sizes and rely on varying interior pad thickness to create their sizes. The Star has three exterior shell sizes and six sizes total to give riders a custom fit that both feels and looks dialed

Exterior shell: TriMatrix Composite Shell; Super Lightweight Carbon Fiber/Kevlar/Fiberglass  This Bell helmet is cast in three shell sizes for custom fitting
LINER  Three piece, double density expandable polystyrene (EPS) liner with removable contour cut cheek pads. The comfort liner is a removable and washable, antibacterial/antimicrobial lining

Ventilation system Chin vent,  Velocity Flow Ventilation™ integrated system for maximum cooling, chin bar air intakes and export top ventilation

Features Washable/Replaceable interior fit pad assembly with air channels
Contour cut cheek pads
3Mode Shield
Quick Release Shield 
Fully ventilated EPS-lined chinbar
Graphic models with clearcoat over graphics
Nutra Fog II superior anti-fog, anti-scratch and UV protected shield

FIBRE GLASS

Arai's unique technology of giving multiple different densities to the liner as a single component instead of assembling several different density liners to make the final part.

Enables a more enveloping fit toward the bottom opening allowing improved streamlining and a smarter appearance at the same time.

HYPER RIDGE
Reinforcement at the bottom of the outer shell for more strength, including the area around the rear exhaust vents.

DIFFUSER
Diffusers and ventilation ducts are integrated into the outer shell for a smooth helmet surface.

Arai Quantum II Motorcycle Helmet

Arai's Quantum-2,  represented the most sweeping changes they made to their best-selling helmet since the Quantum/f model was introduced in 2000. Nine major upgrades and changes to be exact. Now, most companies wouldn't touch their best seller, but Arai isn't most companies - and their R&D staff never sleeps.

Inside, the Quantum-2's main feature is its washable, fully-removable liner. It also has a redesigned comfort liner which Arai says "pays increased attention to comfort by repositioning and adding interior padding, providing a level of comfort that could previously only be found in a full, non-removale liner". Removeable chinstrap covers that allow dirty covers to be easily removed for cleaning (and damaged covers to be replaced easily) and a breathguard design also borrowed from the Corsair, complete the interior changes.
