Evolution!
I had been wearing Tech3s for about 10 years and decided to buy new Boots due to a ripped Buckle.
I bought a Tech5 in a color like Doraemon. I like it very much because it is a rare color.
I tried them on right away and they are just the right amount of softness and the size is just right. (26.5cm) The same size was perfect.
The buckle fastening method has evolved. The previous boots had to be removed forcefully, but the structure has been changed to make it easier to remove the buckle.
I was too tired to take them off after a ride, but with these Boots I was able to take them off right away.
I plan to stay with these Boots for a long time until they break too.

Buy XL over One size
I am 172cm 69kg and I bought one size up XL after much consideration. The imprementation is a comparison with size L. First of all, the L fits almost perfectly. If you wear it as it is, the L is smart, stylish, and nice. However, when I tried on the XL, it was just as OK. It is exactly one size too big, a little bit loose, but not to the point where it feels weird. If you wear a Comine chest and back protector inside, the XL is definitely better. I was able to avoid pigeon chest. Also, with the L, my back would stick out when I leaned forward, but the XL seems to work fine. In the picture, it looks the same in L or XL, but in reality it is definitely different, and yet not too different, which is exquisite. Even though it is one size larger, the fabric is firm, so I don't think it will flap around at street level speeds. View detail
Neoprene Gloves
[How is it used?
Winter Touring, Bicycle commuting in the middle of winter
How was your experience with it?
Palm is synthetic leather like KUSHITANI's summer gloves?
Motorcycle gloves are tough on the instep even with a Grip heater on.

I haven't rubbed it yet.
So far, the Alpinestars Knee slider available for purchase.
I personally think it is the best product of all.
Alpine's star mark has changed to a run that I don't want to let Full bank because I don't want it to disappear.
I think it's simply because I don't have the skills.

Optimal solution for Alpinestars racing boots
I used to use smx-6 plus, but once I put them on, the feeling of operation was good, but when I put them on, I had to tighten the Inner laces and Fastener with the Ratchet, so it took a long time and I was sweaty before putting them on in the Circuit in midsummer. I stopped using them because they were too much trouble.
Also, there were Briefsing and MachineCheck before the run, so there was a sense of urgency about the time.
These Boots are easy to put on and take off with just a Fastener and Magic tape.
However, the protection is not significantly inferior to the original.
The Boots themselves are also soft, lightweight, and easy to operate.
I thought supertech-r was unnecessary unless you are a top racer.
The size feeling was JUST 43 in my case with 27cm leather shoes.

I was surprised at how breathable it was.
The breathability of the Mesh jacket is not compromised and it is very comfortable.
I think this is a good product from Balance, with good expectations there for shock absorption.

best in spring and autumn
I was looking for a new winter coat, and I considered T-GP and S-TP, and tried them on, but they were very tight when I put on Inner and bent my arms or rode in a riding position, so I decided not to buy them. On the other hand, this SMX has moderate elasticity and I decided to buy it immediately. The Velcro around the neck is a minus point, but it is one of the products I am glad I bought. View detail
OffBoots is the only choice for AlpineStar!
I am back in the world of off-road motorcycling for the first time in over 20 years.
The off-road boots I wore at the time were AlpineStar.
I have tried several pairs of GAERNE Boots, believing in the GAERNE myth, believers, but they did not fit my feet.
So I decided to go back to my old AlpineStar shoes.
Now, AlpineStar is a general apparel manufacturer of motorcycle wear such as on-road boots, jackets, moto pants, gloves, etc., but at that time, AlpineStar was a famous brand that only sold off-road boots. AlpineStar was famous for selling only off-road boots at that time.
At the time I was alternating between tech7 and tech3.
I remember that tech7 at that time had InnerBoots in it, but the current tech7 does not.
I also felt uncomfortable with the integrated soles of the shoes and avoided them.
The recent FOX Boots also have integrated soles.
Also, AlpineStar's price was relatively high compared to other manufacturers, which was a factor that kept us away from AlpineStar.
Yes, they are more expensive, but after trying them on, my impression was that AlpineStar is still good! I thought.
The comfort is great!
They are large enough that I can wear them for a long time and not be bothered to take them off immediately.
Also, the Pivot structure of GAERNE and SIDI is near the ankle, while the Pivot structure of AlpineStar is above the ankle.
Does this work? I thought so, but it works much Smoothly than GAERNE and SIDI's Pivot structure.
There is only one disappointment.
See the Red circle area taken from the side of the image.
The difference between the calf and the toe of the foot is very small, making SHIFT UP very difficult.
I wanted the steps here to be a little more Large.
The only negative point is this.
The price is more expensive than otherManufacturers, but they are the best pair for me and I choose AlpineStar for my off-road boots!

Stylish.
The texture is as expected from Alpinestars. As the product name says "Asia", the size is just right for Japan. 172cm, 69kg, L size is almost JUST right for me.
The design is good and you will feel comfortable even if you wear it in the city. It looks Casual, but it is not suitable for midsummer because it is thick like a Riding jacket. I think it can cover from a slightly cooler season to a warmer season.
The shoulder and elbow protectors are soft, but the chest and spine protector are sold separately, so I tried Komine's chest spine protector (su Pulley Body) on inside. It is possible to wear it when riding, but it is too pigeon breasted. It is still better to use a special Protector because it is not suitable for walking in the city.
I was a little concerned about the back of the jacket when I leaned forward compared to a typical Riding jacket.
In any case, I think Alpinestars have a parenthesis quality that Japanese riding jackets, which are inevitably more geeky, do not have, and I like them very much. It is indeed Italy.

Stylish! But functional!
It is so fashionable that it is hard to believe that it is a riders jacket.
The inside chest pocket has a waterproof zip& and is wide and functional. The front chest pocket is small and might be better to be considered as a decoration.

Quantity because it's too good to be true.:2pc. Set eye
The mesh and leather parts are matched, and the inside is not suede, so you don't have to worry about it getting a hole right away.
Mesh part tends to be raised, so be careful with Magic tape for Jacketetc.
Some people say it is hot in midsummer for Mesh, but I personally have no problem with it.
I liked it in MARQUEZ MODEL as a spare!

Necessary and sufficient for city driving.
Since I switched to SS, I have been replacing my equipment with more race-ish equipment, and I decided to purchase riding boots from Casual to Race-ish as well.
I usually use 26cm as my Base in Sneakers, but EU42 (26.5cm) is just right for Alpinestars.
Because they are made by an overseas manufacturer, there is a sense of fit that cannot be measured by the size notation, so we recommend that you always confirm the proper size after trying them on.
As for the operation feel, there was a problem that the Quick shifter on the Up side did not work well because the footpeg was not applied properly to the Shift Pedal, which was a side effect of the solid construction when the Boots were just wholesaled. I got used to it as I ran.
If I loosen the Velcro at the calf, I can spend my time walking even in touring areas without any problems.
If you want to drive on general roads Main but with solid equipment, or if you are on SS and want to ride in Race ish style, this is a good choice.

I knew it was too big.
I bought Red&Black to match my Gayety Red.
It matches well with the color of the car body, but it is too big and I was worried about where to put it.
Although I was aware of the size before I purchased the product, I regret that it was still too big.

For winter use only
As may be the case with some high-end products such as GORE-TEX, even waterproof material is not a waterproof material. "Steam resistant." However, the steam will be removed after some time.
When it gets reasonably warm in spring or fall, it still gets stuffy. Therefore, I wear RIDEKNIT in those seasons. In summer, I can't use it at all. On the other hand, in winter, I can wear RIDEKNIT without getting stuffy and my feet don't get cold. It might be better to think of them as windproof rather than breathable and waterproof.
Shoe laces can get caught if left in place, so they are tucked away inside the Magic tape's belt.

Smaller size is easier to handle.
I have purchased this Sticker many times from webike, but I think the Smaller Size is better because there are more options of where to put it.
It's a shame that most of the colors and sizes are discontinued these days!

Cool!
It looks Parenthesis good and is easy to put on and take off.
The Black Rubber type fits on the Left leg when the Shift operation is used.
It is better not to put it on because it will gradually shift.

It arrived sooner than expected! Fit is Perfect!
The fit is neither too tight nor too loose, and the Gloves are comfortable without interfering with Motorcycle operation when worn. View detail
The best item selected after wearing a variety of Boots.
I have worn Boots from various Manufacturers, but I had never worn only Alpinestars.
I have been wanting to get one for a long time, but Timing didn't have it in stock and I couldn't buy it.
This time, Timing had the one I wanted in stock, so I didn't hesitate to buy it.
I tried it on after I bought it and the size was EXACTLY the same.
I wear thicker socks when I run Circuit, so I have taken that into consideration for Size.
It is a Type with InnerBoots like Boots for Snowboarding.
I thought it would be a bit of a hassle to put them on, but it was less of a hassle than I thought it would be.
Remove InnerBoots from inside before putting them on and tighten the laces before putting them on.
Outer is very secure with the zipper closed and secured with a ratchet belt.
It is fixed, but I don't have any difficulty moving my ankle.
I have not actually used it in Circuit and look forward to trying it out.
The design is also cool and I plan to show it off! (Lol)

No Smartphone Touch functionality
Despite the fact that it is listed as having the Phone Touch function, it does not respond on the Xperia.
I tried with two units, ACE and 5IV, both unresponsive.
Is it defective?

Key Holder that does not flap when driving at high speeds
The thick rubber is directly connected to the large key ring, so there is no risk of it falling off.
This is my third purchase of any kind.
