A one-piece leather motorcycle suit like the Stella Missile V2 is a sporty and most-likely very conscious choice. Those who rush to the bakery by motorbike on Sunday mornings, probably won’t go for this option.
The Missile V2 motorcycle suit is a precision instrument for women who love speed. Don’t underestimate the ‘female’ part of this suit. In the world of Alpinestars, ‘Stella’ is only for the shiniest stars in the universe: the ladies. This also means that the cut of this one-piece suit matches the female anatomy.
As a one-piece motorcycle suit, the Stella Missile V2 is already on its second version and the Tech-Air® 5-airbag jacket can be integrated.
Furthermore, a lot of ‘Missile’, which means a sturdy, wear- and tear-resistant leather exterior that’s assisted by a bucketload of extras to emphasize the fully-fledged racing attitude of this one-piece motorbike suit. The basic ingredient is 1.3mm cowhide – double-layered where useful – but the spices are found in the DFS shoulder, elbow and knee protection. Together, these external sliders form the Dynamic Friction Shield; the best possible warranty for minimal injury when things go south. Or north. Or sideways. The external knee sliders are interchangeable of course, removable, replaceable… It is clear that they are there to be used.
Formidable anatomical structuring with sufficient stretch material ensure that the sliders stay where they are supposed to stay. Same goes for the cowhide and the internal protectors. Control is a fact, in all circumstances. The stretch material supports the pre-shaped race cut with slightly bent arms and legs. For those who are still exploring: a race suit that forces you to sit in the correct position, postpones fatigue.
The downside is that a purebred racing suit like the Stella Missile V2 even in a one-piece is not waterproof. The question is, how tight do you want those lap times in wet conditions, and this illustrates the priorities of the Stella Missile V2. The CE-certification as class AAA (category II prEN17092) confirms it, just like the presence of a whole lot of race-specific protectors. GP-R-Armor is, besides very protective, also very flexible, thin, light and comfortable. The hip protector is Bio-Flex which all together delivers a firm cocoon of impact protection.
A CE-certified Nucleon Race back protector can be fitted optionally.
Like we said before: you can still move rather freely in this cocoon. It is still enjoyable. Tight, too. Or better: Tight, certainly. A motor racing suit needs to be like a second skin. That very first fitting can take a couple tugs here and there, but no worries. In the first few weeks or months, the cowhide will ‘settle’. It should fit like a glove and without too much extra space.
And while you were thinking about that, your attention is being drawn by the aerodynamic racing hump, the many flat zippers, the tight design and the speed that is lurking around the corner. This is a class-act suit – a class suit – that will turn a few heads and laps.
We recommend regular treatment with a water-repellent maintenance product. This treatment keeps the jacket from getting soaking wet and prevents dirt from sticking to it. For longer-term maintenance we recommend using a spray for matte leather, so that the leather remains supple.
