    Alpinestars Inner Suit Liner

    The MX-1’s removable interior liner makes it easy to get into (or out of!) the suit thanks to its breathable mesh design. But it does more than that. First, extra foam padding has been sewn into the sides of the upper arms and at the hips to further enhance the already excellent impact absorption technology of the MX-1 suit. Second, the liner makes the suit incredibly comfortable for the wearer because, if you notice in the picture below – seams are sewn on the outside of the liner. This makes the surface nearly flat on the inside of the liner so there are no hot spots against the wearer. Third, by using smooth stretch material in the arms, inside the thighs and around the knees – movement is much, much easier for the wearer. And fourth, the mesh liner aids in the already well-thought-out ventilation scheme of the suit by standing the leather off of the skin and permitting cooling air to get to and move around the wearer while at speed.

    We recommend that this liner be used in conjunction with an undersuit like Alpinestars Tech Race for the most amount of movement and comfort possible. As for the zip-out liner itself, while it’s not the prettiest thing, its contribution towards making the MX-1 suit comfortable and highly protective cannot be overstated.

    Leatt STX Neck Brace in stock and shipping!

    Now you can use the money you save on this excellent Alpinestars leather suit to further enhance protection out on the track with a Leatt STX Road neck brace.

    The Leatt STX provides a significant amount of neck protection while at the same time being minimally invasive. We noticed this brace fits particularly well with the MX-1 suit so you'll be able to ride the bike as you always have with enhanced protection.

    what is the difference between this and the tech 1-r suit?

    The MX-1 was replaced by the Tech 1R this past winter. The biggest change on the Tech 1R is a U shaped stretch panel across the lower back and up to each of the arm pits. The protection is very similar.

    Alpinestars Aerodynamic Hump

    Many suits simply have a large piece of solid foam stuffed under the leather to create the aerodynamic hump. The MX-1 suit, on the other hand, uses a hollowed-out foam module that’s designed to promote cooling efficiency, enhance aerodynamic efficiency and provide an extra degree of impact protection for the wearer. Here, you can see that the leather at the top of the MX-1’s hump is perforated. This allows cooling air to enter the suit as you move at speed on the track.
    [​IMG]

    On the inside of the suit, the hump’s foam chassis is housed in a pocket that’s separated from the wearer by a neoprene cover. This not only keeps the foam securely placed in the correct position, but it also prevents discomfort by removing any hotspots that may otherwise be noticed as the hump pushes against the wearer’s back.
    [​IMG]

    With the cover opened, you can clearly observe the hollowed-out foam hump design. The holes at the very top allow the perforated leather to deliver air to the upper back while the ribs offer some extra cushioning in the event of a fall.

    One outstanding feature of the Alpinestars MX-1 suit is the way it’s put together. Alpinestars tech uses several different stitching methods to assemble the MX-1 suit. Each stitching method is chosen based upon the needs of that specific area of the suit. Critical seams, like the one shown here for the lower back/buttox area, use multiple rows for assembly. In this way, the seam itself is not only more robust, but the stitching is well hidden from exposure should the rider hit the ground.

    The knees are another area that requires multiple rows of stitching for safety, but flexibility here is also critical in order to allow the rider freedom of movement on the bike. To accomplish these two competing interests, the leather on the knees features the same hidden stitching techniques as used in other areas of the suit, but also employ a leather stretch accordion panel just above the joint. The accordion panel is created by laying leather flat over a piece of stretched elastic material which is then sewn together. Once the leather/elastic material is released from the sewing jig, it assumes the accordion shape you see just above the knee. Using these techniques, the knee joint has the impact and abrasion resistance required while also allowing plenty of flexibility for the wearer.

    In areas that are the least likely to come into contact with the pavement in the event of a crash, stretch Kevlar panels are employed. These not only permit exceptional flexibility for the wearer, but they also provide a degree of custom fitment so one size is suitable for a wide range of shapes. These Kevlar stretch panels are located behind the knees, in the crotch and along the inside of the arms.

    The consequences of the suit’s main zipper failing are many. At best, it could end your day (or weekend) at the track, or at worst – lead to serious injury if it failed mid-crash. That’s why Alpinestars employs multiple stitch technology to hold the main zipper in place. This stitching runs along the entire length of the YKK zipper. The leather that runs along the edge of the zipper does double duty with a specific rolled stitch technique that buries the zipper to protect it from impact and abrasion, further enhancing survivability.

    The MX-1 leather suit was built with lessons learned at the top levels of racing. The suits you see Alpinestars-sponsored riders in MotoGP, AMA and WSBK wearing use many of the same features you find on MX-1. And for all but one rider, Alpinestars constructs those suits using cowhide leather, not kangaroo – which is what they sell to the rest of us.

    In the Dainese line I wear a 40/50. I am 5'8" Chest: 38", Waist: 32", Hips: 40".

    How are the calves on the MX-1? My calves are large for my size (16")

    They have a zipper expansion panel for the calves which is a VERY nice feature. Send me a PM with your weight but most likely you will be a 40/50 in the MX-1 as well.
