Some good things are on the way with the Alpinestars 2010 spring range, starting with the “Calgary” jacket. It’s made from waxed cotton and has more pockets than you’ll ever need, both inside and out, and has an adjustable waist. Incorporated are elbow and shoulder protectors. The Calgary jacket comes in black in sizes from S-XXXXL.

Also new for 2010 is the Bullit men’s leather jacket, making simplicity very sexy. It’s available in white, black or brown and while it looks minimalist, you can still house back and chest protectors if required. It has in-built shoulder and elbow padding, and both exterior and interior pockets.

Other additions to the Alpinestars range include the Tech 8 boot, the Tech 1-R race suit, Stella Georgia ladies jacket, Velocity men’s leather jacket and Afrika Gore-Tex boots. That won’t be all for the new season, but it’s enough to make the coming of the warmer season even more tempting. See Alpinestars.com for details on the lifestyle clothing range, too.

This fantastic video shows Armadillo scooterwear in more than just a simple motorcycle commercial. It’s the perfect video for a motorcycle gear brand that calls itself “armadillo”, and it certainly makes scootering look edgy and fun. Armadillo deals with clothing, which we see put to the test in these Vespa stunts as the guy goes blasting through fire and glass.

The video was made by Stink Films, which even got itself a Cannes Festival prize this year. Armadillo scooterwear includes some very cool stuff (I’m quite taken with the red mackintosh myself), all of it featuring body armour just in case you are “tough enough” for city scooter riding. For more details, see the Armadillo scooterwear site.

The people at Draggin Jeans literally put their ass on the grid with their product test.

What a way to do a quality control check.
