The urban contemporary collection features motorcycle jackets designed for city riding and everyday commuting. This includes textile jackets with subtle armor integration, casual riding jackets that blend protection with street style, and versatile designs suitable for on-bike and off-bike wear. All jackets balance Alpinestars' motorsport-derived protection technology with contemporary urban aesthetics, offering CE-certified armor pockets and abrasion-resistant materials in silhouettes that work for daily urban life.
Yes, urban motorcycle jackets in this collection are engineered with the same safety standards as traditional motorcycle gear. They feature CE-certified armor in shoulders, elbows, and back, constructed with abrasion-resistant materials, and designed to meet motorcycle safety requirements. The key difference is the styling—urban jackets offer discreet protection integration and contemporary design while maintaining the technical performance and safety credentials Alpinestars is known for across all motorsports disciplines.

Urban motorcycle pants in this collection are designed with versatility in mind, featuring contemporary cuts that work with both motorcycle boots and casual footwear. However, for optimal safety, we recommend pairing them with proper riding shoes that offer ankle protection and abrasion resistance. Many riders choose urban riding shoes that look like casual sneakers but include reinforced toe boxes, ankle support, and motorcycle-specific sole construction for shifter durability and crash protection.
Urban motorcycle gear requires specific care to maintain both protective properties and appearance. Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle, and always remove CE armor inserts before washing. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and high-heat drying, as these can degrade technical fabrics and waterproof membranes. For jackets and pants with leather panels or trim, spot clean those areas and use leather conditioner periodically. Air dry all items away from direct heat or sunlight. Regular cleaning maintains the integrity of abrasion-resistant materials and ensures armor pockets retain their proper positioning for maximum protection.
