Alpinestars Hypertech V3 Race Suit Black (FIA)

Alpinestars HYPERTECH V3 is a race suit with FIA 8856-2018 homologation, described by the manufacturer as a top-tier model with outstanding protective properties. It is made from technically innovative materials and has been tested in F1, Formula E, WRC and WEC competition.

This two-layer design is made for drivers who want gear for track and rally starts, with the focus on protection, fit and freedom of movement in the cockpit.

Detailed look at the suit

The suit is black throughout, with light grey accents that have a reflective look. Thin inserts run along the chest, sleeves and legs, giving the silhouette a dynamic line. You will find silver-grey brand logos on the shoulders and a small tonal Alpinestars badge on the chest. On the back, in the upper part, there is a black pocket with grey trim and the model logo, and at waist level a tonal brand lettering. The homologation label is sewn in at the neck. The collar is low, and the cuffs and leg ends have black elasticated bands.
