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 facili-
tate 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 pro-
tected 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 loca-
tion 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 degra-
dation 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.
