Motorcycle helmet quality reports
When we talk about motorcycle safety, the first, the first thought of a helmet. When we talk about the helmet that the only reason for us to wear it is to protect the unfortunate situation in the first accident. But most people missed the fact that motorcycle helmets can not only provide the security of any accident, also helps riders in many different ways.
• motorcycle helmets also help in cold conditions by maintaining the body's core temperature. It is able to do the entire face and ears, nose, closure of the main stays, etc., do not have to face chilly winds.
• In hot conditions, to keep the sun from shining directly to security, to prevent sunburn.
• Despite the rainy conditions should not ride a motorcycle, motorcycle helmets allow riders to do so. Since water does not directly hit in the face, road visibility than riding without a helmet.
• more than protect a rider, a helmet, for riders, their bikes and riding style can add to the overall appearance of the image of the person riding a bicycle was the fact that the other.
There is no reason to buy a motorcycle helmet issue, it will always do what it does best, get the protection of drivers in the event of an accident the last barrier.
Ride a motorcycle most important role in his own driver. A good rider to stay alert, and able to anticipate and avoid any mistakes, and ride. They may be considered highly skilled or really lucky, never had no effect on their helmets through to save their lives. However, this does not mean they do not helmet use.
Helmets to play different roles, these roles can be:
While riding •, we can control how we ride a bike. However, we can not control or error in the air flying insects. While riding at high speed, if a driver collided with insects, especially around the face or eyes, the rider will lose control. Protection of shade or screen guard players from these conditions.
Good bar, motorcycle helmets are so many benefits, we should always wear out, which is to protect the interests of your life the best way.

New features of Alpinestars SP-1
The main difference I have noticed with the Alpinestars motorcycle gloves is with the finish. Incidentally these gloves are also marketed as Alpinestars gloves just in case you were wondering they are the same thing! So the finish, compared to the Alpinestars gloves or Alpinestars GP Tech gloves the finish is a bit cheap. You may find that there are long threads hanging or the leather has not quite been cut to the fit you would expect. I guess Alpinestars can get away with it since its been marketed as a mid range glove. If you can live with the inferior finish then there is no reason not to buy these gloves. They will provide you with an excellent level of protection and come at a fantastic price. The cheapest I have seen the Alpinestars SP1 gloves are about $100 and its a great bargain at that price.
Alpinestars gloves are also on the market. You’ll also find them listed as Alpinestars SP-2 gloves and are very similar to the SP1 model but are even cheaper.
The SP-1 range also come in Alpinestars gloves Stella SP-1 format which is directed completely at the female market. It’s touted as having a cut specifically to fit a ladies hand and so it will fit much better.
Alpinestars SP-1 Gloves
Most of the Alpinestars gloves I have looked at so far have been pretty much at the top of the range. I hope I haven’t scared anyone off with the cost of these gloves. There are so called mid ranged biking gloves out there if that’s what you’re after. I know not everyone has $300 to spend on a pair of gloves so if you’re looking for that Alpinestars quality but your budget doesn’t quite stretch that far how about going for the Alpinestars gloves? They are aimed at general road use, you won’t catch any of the big named MotoGP stars using them but then hey how many of us are going to get to that level? Not me I know that much! Don’t let the ‘mid-range’ tag full you into thinking that you’re buying an inferior product though. They are stunning looking gloves and will provide you with an exceptionally high level of protection no matter what type of vehicle you’re on.
The Alpinestars motorcycle gloves are constructed from leather and the thickness of the leather varies from point to point on the gloves. Obviously the areas which require most protection have the thickest area of leather. Kevlar is also present which acts as additional abrasion resistance for that top quality protection. The knuckles are made up of carbon fiber and carbon fiber sliders are also present and correct on the fingers. As standard on the Alpinestars gloves these days is the ventilation holes to let a little air in to your hands for those long summer rides. These are present on the fingers and the wrist area. The wrist gauntlet is also rather familiar as it is the standard dual Velcro closure. The fit of these gloves is excellent and comes in various different sizes so you should find a pair to suit your needs. It is possible to get small Alpinestars gloves as I know this is a common query especially with the Alpinestars Alloy Gloves.
Scorpion Helmets in Hollywood
Dean McDermott, co-star of the Tori & Dean show featured on the Oxygen Channel, isn't your average Hollywood TV celebrity. He's as much a Scorpion motorcycle helmets enthusiast as the rest of us. He's been riding bikes since the ripe age of 12 and recently got the urge to take to the race track. So 'Scorpion USA' hooked him up with a full-custom race suit and helmets to get the job done. He now has his WERA racing license and has been chiseling his knee-dragging skills ever since. He's getting faster and part of that process is tossing the bike along the way. He's walked away from 2 crashes. One at low speed and another at over 100mph when the front end pushed out. Take a journey through Dean's trials and tribulations in trying to balance family and his need for speed by browsing through the below video's and tune in to the new season of "Tori & Dean - Home Sweet Hollywood" on the Oxygen Channel.

Scorpion Urban Destroyer Helmet
(Lake Forest, CA May 17, 2010) - It is survival of the fittest in the urban jungle, so Scorpion Helmets has decided to cry havoc and let slip with the latest Scorpion EXO-1000 helmet protection system: The Urban Destroyer! Designed to keep streetfighters cool no matter how hot the action gets this summer, the Destroyer jacket starts with a vented poly mesh shell, bolstered by fully ventilated CE-approved body armor at the elbows and shoulders.
The poly mesh shell also gets ballistic nylon panels in the high impact areas for when you are in a tight scrape, not to mention the fact that the Urban Destroyer also has your back, literally. There is a full-length back protector compartment, complete with a P.E. foam pad in place. Internally, a lightweight perforated liner makes for maximum air flow.
Additional refinements include two generous hand warmer pockets as well as an interior storage pocket. Reflective trim has been incorporated on the arms and back of the jacket for improved nighttime visibility. Dual waist-adjustment snaps and Velcro® arm adjustment tabs help keep the jacket or sleeves from flapping at triple digit speeds. The Urban Destroyer jacket comes in a basic black, bright blue or vivid red, ranging in size from S up through XXL.
Capping things off are the matching scorpion-exo-400 Urban Destroyer helmets. Featuring an advanced polycarbonate composite construction, the shell's aero-tuned design has been wind-tunnel tested to ensure things stay quiet inside when all hell is breaking loose outside. The SpeedShift® quick-change shield system makes for simple, tool-less faceshield changes in less than 10 seconds. Speaking of shields, Scorpion Helmets optically correct faceshields are treated with anti-scratch hardened coating and the exclusive EverClear® no-fog technology. Although the destroyed urban environment graphics look killer, these lids will not lay waste to your wallet as the EXO-400 retails for right around $159.95.

Scorpion EXO-1000's
The <a href="http://x-ck.com/products/scorpion-exo-1000-air-bug-matte-black" title="ScorpionEXO-1000's">ScorpionEXO-1000's</a> clear face shield uses the <a href="http://www.x-ck.com/categories/scorpion-exo-1000-air" title="scorpion-exo-1000 ">scorpion-exo-1000 </a>quick release system, which is a round dial that allows the face shield to be easily removed but is a bit fussy to replace. The face shield has an interesting bend at the very top and it's notched to fit under the brow vent.
It's a complex mold and, unfortunately, ours has a problem on the left-hand side, where it doesn't come close to sealing around the gasket surrounding the eye port opening. It starts with about a 1/8" gap on the left and doesn't touch the eye port gasket until almost half-way across the face of the <a href="http://www.x-ck.com/blogs/scorpion-exo-1000-helmet" title="Scorpion EXO-1000 helmet">Scorpion EXO-1000 helmet</a>.
This may be an issue only with our example, but prospective owners may want to closely inspect the seal between the face shield and the eye port gasket before committing greenbacks. Not that this is a deal-killer, but it's a surprising faux pas and, I think, may be partly responsible for the elevated noise levels we found.
The face shield has another unfortunate trait that we also experienced on the HJC FS-10; it only has 4 detents to hold it open, and the first is nearly half-way up. There is a lever on the left-hand side that cracks the face shield open just a touch; the lever also acts as a face shield lock, but it's fussy to use and the face shield must be fully opened and slammed home to seal (or as close as it gets to sealing) if the lever is used.
Score: I'll rate the face shield clarity, operation and visibility as "Acceptable", which drops to a "Poor" considering the sealing problem, which may be an issue with our <a href="http://www.x-ck.com/categories/scorpion-helmets" title="Scorpion Helmets">Scorpion Helmets</a> only.

How to Review Motorcycle Gloves?
Gloves are your best remedy against road rash.So please get yourself some easy protection.
This Glove Guide shows you how to select quality Gloves plus you will find links to motorcycle apparel discounts, glove brands & motorcycle directories.
Motorcycle Gloves Introduction
Alpinestars motorcycle glovesSummer gloves are often no more that thin leather gloves without a lining and hardly any water resistance. It's best to consider having gloves made of leather as it's the safest (for example cycling gloves would be shredded in the event of a fall).
Motorcycle fingerless gloves
There are two types, with and without fingers. (without might be comfy but you're not driving a car) If you ride in extreme sunny/hot conditions perforations in your gloves (for cooling) can give you a nasty sunburn.
Motorcycle medium weight gloves
(racing gloves / summer gloves)
Medium weight is between summer and winter gloves and most riders have these. Some are lined, some aren't. These days they have special protection areas and are really comfortable. You can get them in all sorts and styles.
Motorcycle winter gloves
Much thicker than medium weight gloves. Really made to keep your hands warm during colder weather. They will often have to handle rain too (just make sure they can, otherwise they are worthless).
Motorcycle rain gloves
Often no more than a plastic covering to keep the rain out. I'm not such a fan of them. They can get slippery on the controls, get bulky and I don't like glove over glove. However rain gloves are often quite cheap and easy to carry along.Alpinestars gloves-The Best In Motorcycle Gloves Today

I loved that bike so much, and I thought I was "The Man" on it. After a few mentions of always wanting a Ducati (hint hint), my beautiful and thoughtful wife, decided to rent me a Ducati 1098 for Fathers Day so I could enjoy some fun filled California cruising and canyon riding. Little did she know, she had created a monster. Soon after, I became friends with a fellow motorcycle enthusiast, who also had a love for motorcycles. He invited me out for a track day with Fastrack Riders. After I completed my first few laps, and got my novice riders certificate, I was hooked. Since then I have taken my obsession of motorcycles and love of racing to the next level. I decided to get my WERA race license in early 2009. Now I am fortunate to have several sponsors for the 2010 WERA race season, and a very understanding and supportive wife. It’s good to be me.

Introduction of Alpinestars Gloves
The company started out way back in 1963 in Italy and started off making hiking and ski boots. They moved swiftly on to making boots for motocross racing. In the 1990’s the company really moved on and branched out into making protective jackets and gloves which we all know and have come to love today. You can also get a full leather suit for racing which is a bit pricey but it’s well worth the money if you can afford it. Personally I’ve got a few pairs of gloves and that’s about as far as the budget can stretch at the moment. I do have my eyes on a cool pair of Alpinestars boots and a leather jacket. One amazing fact I found out today is that Alpinestars used to make brand mountain bikes but unfortunately stopped production in 1996. They make amazing motocross gear so I can only imagine how wonderful the mountain bikes would have been. I wonder if they still sell them on Ebay. Worth a look later.
Anyway Aalpinestars Gloves have offices in Tokyo and Los Angeles and of course they have a strong presence in Italy. Most of the research and development still takes place in Italy. The brand is today worn by MotoGP World Champions Nicky Hayden and Casey Stoner so if you ever were in any doubt about the quality of Alpinestars gloves then that should set your mind at ease. Nicky Hayden wears the famous Alpinestars GP Tech gloves if you’re looking the buy the same pair. He’s also been known to wear the Alpinestars GP Pro gloves. The equipment is also used in Formula One and NASCAR with recent champions Fernando Alonso and Jimmie Johnson helping to develop the gear such as gloves, footwear, Nomex suits and even underwear. You can appreciate how fast these guys are going in their vehicles and so safety is one of the key features. This is where Alpinestars gloves and equipment really excel especially with the Alpinestars Alloy Gloves.

Scorpion EXO-1000 helmet
As I said, the Scorpion EXO 1000 Helmet is absolutely chocked with features. First and foremost is the long-hyped HelmetPump design that had the buzz for this helmet going well before its release. Beyond that, you've got the trio of Scorpion features: the SpeedShift quick-change shield system, allowing you to swap out shields without tools in ten seconds or less; the EverClear fog-free faceshield with a scratch resistant coating; and the KwikWick antimicrobial removable washable moisture-wicking liner. The ventilation system is fully adjustable and will keep your head nice and cool (couple with the moisture-wicking liner) at long distance rides.
One of the newest motorcycle helmet offerings from Scorpion, the Scorpion EXO-1000 helmet continues their trend of packing a ton of next-level features into a reasonably-priced premium helmet. Easy open/close vents are located at the brow, the chin, and the top of the head with a large open/close exhaust vent at the back of the head for venturi effect airflow. This is without question a premium touring helmet. It's also DOT & Snell certified. The EXO1000 is designed to be ridden in the upright position for long distances, and will flow a great deal of air, making it a great premium touring motorcycle helmet option.
Everyone remembers those shoes from the 80s and 90s that you could pump up for a perfect custom fit. They've integrated that technology into the helmet and it works spectacularly: the cheek pads and neckroll inflate for a snug fit, and at the end of the ride a release button deflates for easy on/off. The next biggie on this helmet is the retractable internal sun visor system. The SpeedView Visor, as Scorpion calls it, eliminates the need to change shields when the sun comes out or fumble for a pair of sunglasses.

Scorpion EXO-750
Scorpion EXO-750 Vintage
The Scorpion EXO-750 upgrades over the EXO-700 are what really sets this helmet apart. They integrated their AirFit helmet pump system, which is a push-button mechanism that inflates the cheek pads and neckroll to provide the snuggest, safest and most comfortable and secure fit. At the push of a second button, it quickly deflates and is easy to remove. Next, they upgraded the shell to meet ECE 22.05 certification, an upgraded safety standard in Europe. The last major upgrade is the locking shield mechanism, a switch on the side of the helmet that pulls the shield flush to the shell ensuring no wind or water can penetrate.
Scorpion EXO-750 Eternity
We think this helmet stacks up extremely well against similarly-priced helmets. It packs in a ton of features that you generally don't see in other helmets in this range. To see what the EXO-750 competes with, check out our Sportbike Helmets segment at RevZilla.com

Scorpion Helmets EXO-750
Scorpion Helmets, innovative since they came through the gates about five years ago, took the excellent design of their mid-level EXO-700 sportbike helmet, made significant upgrades and rolled out the Scorpion EXO-750 Helmet. Scorpion continues to impress us with the level of technicality they are able to pack into helmets that come in at the sub-$300 price point and the EXO-750 stays true to this. It is a great choice for the sportbike rider looking for a lid that offers excellent performance, ventilation, stability and comfort.
Built with a Fiberglass/Kevlar Matrix shell, the EXO-750 is wind-tunnel tested for aerodynamics and offers an extremely stable and quiet ride. The chin bar is lined with EPS, an extremely rigid and resilient closed-cell foam that provides added protection. Of course, there is the trifecta of Scorpion stock features: the KwikWick removable washable moisture-wicking liner that breathes extremely well and provides excellent comfort; the EverClear fog-free faceshield, which is optically correct and treated with an anti-scratch hardened coating; and the SpeedShift quick-change shield system, one of the simplest shield change mechanisms we've seen which requires a simple quarter-turn of a knob on either side and the shield pops right off.

Alpinestars makes a LOT of different gear for motorcycle riders and racers. In fact, they also make a large selection of leather and textile gloves. But we are going to review only ALPINESTARS “LEATHER” MOTORCYCLE GLOVES.
Alpinestars leather motorcycle gloves contain short gloves, for street riding, touring or everyday commuting, as well as 3/4 gloves, which are a compromise between the longest sports gloves and their short gloves.
Some of their short gloves feature perforated leather for maximum air-flow, as well as abrasion-resistant palms, which, combined together, offer excellent warm-weather performance.
For Alpinestars top-of-the-line leather gloves, you'll see their full-length, full protection, sport/racing gloves, which feature superior knuckle protection, precurved fingers (for better fit and tactile feel), along with their very best leather protec
