Summer is now here and perhaps it’s time to get some airflow through your torso? Possibly the best way to achieve this is with this new Alpinestars jacket. It has many mesh panels for total ventilation but still with heavy protection in vulnerable areas. Armour is found on the shoulders, elbows and a back protector and chest foam panels reinforce security. It will certainly make a cool dude even cooler, which rules Bill right out.

These 2013 baby blue gloves are primarily designed for motocross but there’s nothing wrong with using them on the road, or perhaps around the garden? They’re made from a combination of spandex, Lycra and Clarino (synthetic suede to you). There’s also a touch of silicon at the fingertips for improved feel while tearing around a field. But as you can see they’re ideal for obnoxious gestures while being carved up on your daily commute or maybe to a red faced farmer while hassling his cattle.
