The San Diego round of The Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series has long been the host for a strong tradition of honoring the United States armed forces, and to commemorate that occasion, Alpinestars has released a Limited Edition Aviator collection of its Tech 10 boots and riding gear, which includes the Racer jersey, pant and glove gear set.
The Aviator collection looks snazzy in its distinctive black and navy blue “combat-ready” color scheme design colorway and retains the Italian company’s attention to quality and detail. The color-way includes iconic black and gold features throughout the Tech 10 boot as well. The limited edition Aviator Tech 10 will be available while supplies last.
The Alpinestars Aviator Tech 10 boot’s construction features include:
• A one-piece co-injected foot chassis that incorporates five different advanced polymer compounds in a single streamlined and lightweight piece to offer strength and flexibility throughout the structure, while maintaining a robust structural integrity with no joints or weak points.
• An innovative, lightweight upper combines full-grain leather with advanced lightweight microfiber and an impact and abrasion resistant TPU shell.
• A medial-facing panel constructed from a one-piece, specifically formulated polymer for improved structural stability and integrity. It incorporates a rubber insert panel for maximum grip contact with bike and improved abrasion resistance.
• Frontal protection features that include a dual closure system with an internal microfiber flap, plus Velcro for a precise fit closure that attaches securely with a micro-adjustable, easy to operate, lightweight buckle. The shin incorporates a unique TPU blade system engineered to prevent frontal hyperextension and offer greater flex control.
• A contoured TPU calf protector plate that offers impact resistance and incorporates Alpinestars innovative rear blade system, formed with hard shock resistant polymer to protect the heel.There’s also a rear hyperextension guard.
