Whether you’re a seasoned rider or just getting started in motocross, there’s one brand that consistently sits at the top of every rider’s wish list.
Alpinestars.
With decades of experience in designing gear that’s built for the demands that come with off-roading, Alpinestars has earned itself a reputation as one of the most trusted names in the sport.
Here at Dirt Store, we’re proud to be the UK’s go-to destination for motocross gear, and that means making sure we stock the best of what Alpinestars has to offer. From boots that have become iconic on tracks around the world to protective gear that gives you the confidence to push harder, we’ve pulled together everything you need to know about the Alpinestars kit available right here on our site.
So, whether you’re gearing up for a new season or treating yourself to an upgrade, let’s get to work and take a look at what’s in store.
The Boots: Where Performance Starts
When it comes to Alpinestars, boots are where the brand truly made its name. At Dirt Store, we’ve got two standout options to suit both different riders as well as different budgets.
First up, the Alpinestars Tech 7. If you’re looking for a boot that delivers pro-level performance without the top-end price tag, this is it. CE-certified and built with a redesigned TPU lower shell, a double pivot system for improved flexibility, and aluminium buckle closures – the same ones found on the flagship Tech 10 – the Tech 7 punches well above its weight.
It's lighter than the Tech 10, which makes it a popular choice for longer sessions when fatigue will start to creep in, and it delivers excellent feel on the pegs and controls. Available in a range of colourways including the striking MX25 editions, there’s a pair to match whatever kit you’re wearing.
If you’re ready to go all-in, though, the Alpinestars Tech 10 Supervented is the benchmark. Widely regarded as the most technical motocross boot ever made, the Tech 10 Supervented takes everything that makes the standard Tech 10 great and adds a serious ventilation system on top.
Two large inlet ports at the front work with exhaust vents at the rear to keep air moving through the boot, while the mesh inner bootie and 3D insole with built-in air channels mean your feet stay cool and comfortable even deep into a long ride.
Protection-wise, the Tech 10 Supervented features Alpinestars’ patented Dynamic Heel Compression Protector and a dual density calf blade system. This tech has been developed and tested in professional Supercross and Motocross. It’s an investment, but for riders who demand the very best, it’s hard to argue with.
Kit Up: The Jerseys & Pants
Once you’ve got your boots sorted, it’s time to think about kit. Once again, Alpinestars has options for every type of rider.
If you’re after a complete, matched outfit straight out of the box, the Alpinestars Techstar Dreem Kit Combo is hard to beat. Built for advanced-level competition, the Techstar line strikes the sweet spot between performance and durability.
The jersey features a lightweight stretch chassis with laser-cut perforations across the chest and arms for airflow, seamless bonded neck and cuff openings for comfort, and moisture-wicking fabric to keep you cool when the riding gets serious.
The pants match that quality, constructed from a stretch ripstop fabric with a 3D Babel knee construction that improves ventilation and flexibility without compromising fit. They’re liner-less for easy on and off – particularly if you’re running knee braces – and the ratchet waist closure keeps everything locked in however hard you’re pushing.
Available at Dirt Store in the Gray Multicolour colourway, it’s a solid all-in-one investment for riders who want race-ready kit without having to mix and match.
Not looking for a full combo? The Alpinestars Fluid Wurx Pants are a great standalone option worth having on your radar. Sitting in Alpinestars’ more relaxed Fluid line – which is designed to bring the same tech as their top-tier ranges into a more accessible, comfortable package – the Fluid Wurx pants are ideal for recreational riders and those who prefer a slightly less aggressive fit.
The 600D polyfabric chassis is durable and PU coated for strength, while stretch panels on the knee, crotch, and rear waist keep movement natural and unrestricted. Available in Multicolour and Purple Bright Red at Dirt Store, they’re a versatile choice that pairs well with a range of jerseys too.
Don't Forget the Gloves
Gloves might be one of the smaller purchases in your kit bag, but they’re one of the most important. The right pair can make a real difference to how connected you feel to the bike.
The wrong pair will remind you of that pretty quickly.
The Alpinestars Radar Gloves are the pick of the range at Dirt Store, and it’s easy to see why they’re a popular choice. Lightweight and built with a single-layer stretch backhand and synthetic suede palm, they deliver excellent feel on the levers and grips without adding unnecessary bulk.
Perforations on the thumb and palm keep airflow moving, while the seamless closure strap and pull tab make them quick and easy to get on and off. They’re also touchscreen compatible which is handy for checking the map or phone between sessions without having to strip them off.
Available in Black, Haze Gray Black, and Dark Camo at Dirt Store, there’s a colourway to suit most riders and their kit combinations.
Protection Worth Investing In
It’s easy to focus all your attention on boots and kit, but protection is arguably the most important part of any rider’s setup. Alpinestars knows this better than most, and the A-5 Plasma Chest Protector is a strong example of what the brand does when it takes safety seriously.
Anatomically profiled for motocross and supercross, the A-5 Plasma features Alpinestars’ proprietary Nucleon plasma material – a viscoelastic, bio-based compound that’s pliable in every direction while still being able to absorb and disperse impact energy effectively.
Both the chest and back protectors are CE Level 2 certified and mounted on a highly perforated 3D mesh chassis, which keeps airflow moving and adds an extra layer of defence against tyre roost. The side wings sit independently from the main shell for a fully adaptive fit, and adjustable shoulder and side straps mean you can dial in the fit to your body rather than just making do.
Protection gear doesn’t always have the most exciting reputation, but the A-5 Plasma is the kind of kit you’ll be quietly grateful for every time you suit up. Available at Dirt Store in Black Red White.
For the Junior Riders: The SM3 Youth Helmet
Motocross isn’t just an adult sport, and Alpinestars hasn’t forgotten that. If you’re getting a younger rider set up with their first proper kit, the SM3 Youth Helmet is a great place to start.
Engineered specifically for young riders, the SM3 Youth is optimised for MX, enduro, and off-road use, and packs in an impressive amount of technology for its size.
The lightweight thermoplastic shell comes in three youth sizes – Small, Medium, and Large – and can be tailored further using interchangeable crown and cheek pads, which is a genuinely useful feature as young riders grow.
The multi-density EPS inner liner is positioned to deliver the right level of impact absorption in the right areas, while Alpinestars’ patented low friction coating on the liner helps reduce rotational forces during oblique impacts.
This is all the tech you’d expect to find in a full adult helmet.
It also comes equipped with an Emergency Release System for safe and easy cheek pad removal if needed, and hydration tube channels built into the cheek pads for those longer days out. ECE 06 certified and available at Dirt Store in the Radium and Deegan Visor colourways, it’s a helmet that gives younger riders the same quality of protection that Alpinestars is known for across their entire range.
