Constructed from 1.3mm full-grain leather, the Alpinestars Missile Suit is extremely abrasion resistant. This suit was designed to integrate the new Alpinestars Tech-Air Race airbag system (sold separately). An LED display on sleeve indicates the airbag’s operational status. The Missile incorporates Hyper-Res Stretch Fiber (HRSF) panels on the underarms, crotch, and back for flexibility and comfort. This suit is equipped with leather accordion stretch panels for better mobility and performance. Perforation throughout the suit allows for excellent ventilation. The Missile incorporates Alpinestars’ exclusive Dynamic Friction Shield (DFS) shoulder and knee sliders, as well as CE-approved elbow, shoulder, tibia, and knee protectors. Removable CE Nucleon hip protectors are also included. The inside chest pockets come equipped with PE padding. If you're looking for more protection, the Nucleon KR-R Back Protector and Nucleon KR-Ci Chest Protectors are compatible and sold separately. This suit has an aerodynamic back hump that is perforated for increased airflow. Inside of this suit is a removable stretch mesh liner. There is also an internal waterproof pocket to hold personal belongings. Soft, 3-D mesh is located on the neck for added comfort. Zippered expansion gussets on the back of the calves provide additional flexibility.

So I appreciate when a business does a great job in a quick time frame, so I think Barnacle Bill deserves a review here. I shipped my new-to-me leathers off to Bill last Monday for alterations, after speaking with him by telephone the day before. Super nice guy and we ended up just bullshitting about whatever for a while. I bought a size 48/58 set of Alpinestars MX-1 leathers (thanks, Cox!) that fit great in the torso and shoulders, but had a little more room than I'd like in the legs and arms. I previously wore a 46/56 Astars Carver suit that was a little tight everywhere and the arms were a touch short. So Bill had me take some simple measurements and off they went. Bill called me on Wednesday just to confirm the measurements and exactly what we were doing to the suit. To my surprise, the suit showed up at my door today, exactly one week from the time I shipped them off! That's pretty awesome in my eyes, especially coming from a busy guy at the start of race season and considering I've heard a lot of horror stories about stuff like this taking a lot longer than that (from other random vendors of various parts and gear). Even better, this suit fits like a freakin glove! We ended up taking out 2 inches from the length of the thighs bringing up the knees to where they're supposed to sit, 1 inch of width from the thighs snugging them up, and about an inch and a quarter of width out of the arms. And all of this for a very reasonable price. I finally have a suit that is comfortable but snug everywhere that it should be. Fits like a full custom in my opinion. So if you're in need of alterations, repairs, or a custom suit, I wouldn't hesitate to contact Barnacle Bill.
