FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Aero-hump?
The 7cm slim sport Aero-hump is designed to improve aerodynamics, reduce drag, and work in conjunction with compatible helmets like the Alpinestars S-R10 for enhanced performance at speed.
Is this jacket suitable for all types of motorcycle riding?
The Missile Ignition v3 is specifically designed for sport and super naked bike riders, prioritizing racing performance and protection. While it offers high safety standards, its race-focused fit might be less comfortable for long-distance touring or casual commuting compared to a sport-touring jacket.
What level of protection does the jacket offer?
The jacket is certified as Class AA protective clothing for motorcyclists (EN17092-3:2020). It includes Alpinestars Nucleon PLASMA Pro Level 2 armor on the shoulders and elbows, and DFS Phantom Black Shadow protectors on the shoulders.
Can I add an airbag to this jacket?
Yes, the jacket is engineered to be 'Tech-Air® Ready' and is compatible with the Alpinestars Tech-Air® 7x Airbag System, providing an additional layer of advanced rider protection.
How should I clean and maintain the leather?
Clean the leather with a damp cloth and mild leather cleaner, then air dry. Periodically use a leather conditioner to maintain its suppleness. Avoid harsh chemicals and direct heat.
What size should I order?
Refer to the Alpinestars sizing chart for accurate measurements. This jacket has a sport-oriented fit, so ensure you select the size that provides both a snug fit for protection and acceptable comfort for your intended use.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels too tight or restrictive.
This jacket has a race-oriented fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers. For extended everyday use, consider if this fit profile meets your comfort needs. Refer to the sizing chart for accurate measurements.
Tech-Air® system not recognized or functioning.
Verify that the Tech-Air® 7x Airbag System is correctly installed and connected according to its manual. Ensure the airbag system's battery is charged and the system is properly activated.
Leather appears dry or stiff.
Apply a suitable leather conditioner following the product's instructions. This will help restore suppleness and prevent cracking.
Protectors feel uncomfortable or misplaced.
Ensure all armor (shoulder, elbow) is correctly seated within its designated pockets. Adjust the fit of the jacket to ensure the protectors are positioned over the corresponding joints.
