Alpinestars are one of the older clothing companies in the motorcycle game with a company history dating back to 1963, before motorcycle and racing became really fashionable. The company still maintains its headquarters in Asolo in Italy today, where the company founder Sante Mazzarolo first went into business. Alpinestars as a company is actually named after the Stella Apina, a flower which grows in the mountains nearby.

Extremes in weather are almost a given when on tour. Alpinestars have developed the Durban touring gear with this in mind.
