The Stella Chrome Sport has little to do with chrome. Unless it's about the amount of chrome on your motorcycle. This is a real hoodie: casual, stylish, from a motorcycle clothing brand. Oh yeah, and full-on motorcycle gear. Not only can you legally ride your bike in them, you can also protect yourself effectively with the Stella Chrome by Alpinestars. An important nuance.
But going back first, to the 'Stella' that in the world of Alpinestars always puts extra focus on female anatomy. In this case, a centered cut and a hoodie that perfectly embraces the female fit.
Exclusively for the female biker. Well, yes. Even when the bike stays at home, wearing the Stella Chrome Sport is not a punishment. This double use is the great value of a piece of motorcycle clothing like this. The exterior looks stylish and casual, the aramid reinforcements on shoulders, elbows and back guarantee a high degree of wear resistance and if necessary, you can always count on the Nucleon Flex Plus impact protection on the shoulders and elbows. The back features a standard compartment where you can easily fit a Nucleon Plasma back protector (level 2 certified) or Nucleon KR-CELLi back protector (level 1 certified), should you so desire.
The central zipper, two side pockets, the knitted waist and ditto sleeve ends, no matter how you look at it, at first sight this is still just a hoodie. The ‘biker’ part is less visible. But it is definitely there.
It’s stating the obvious: breaking speed records is not what this is for. The Stella Chrome is a city dweller. With a preference for better weather. Getting on, getting off, a terrace, shop, work, walking a bit, getting on again ... those things. A good pair of motorbike jeans and a pair of motorbike shoes that look like sneakers complete the combination.
There is maintenance clothing and then there is clothing maintenance. Good, solid motorcycle clothing is an investment in comfort and personal safety. So invest in its maintenance after your purchase and enjoy your gear for longer.
