RubberSideDown Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 (edited) Sportbike Track Gear in the US is clearing out their Alpinestars display gear (everything is 'like new' or 'lightly used')- of course sizes are limited, but they had a Tech 1-R jacket in Euro 54/US 44 for $399 (they used to go for $700, and they're on clearance at other places for $540- even direct from Italy they're nearly $500 shipped)- I have friends visiting in August so I had it sent to their house in be States to avoid shipping and import tariffs. Note there's still a lot of stuff on their website- there's a lightly-used Tech 1-R still available in Euro 56 for $279 (which I would have bought if it had been my size), plus loads of other stuff- there are good deals even with having it shipped over: http://stores.sportbiketrackgear.com/Categories.bok?category=Alpinestars+2013+Closeout+Sale&searchpath=227184616&start=101&total=174 It's got decent perforation and great protection (and I've already got a Bionic Race back protector that snaps in)- not great for Bangkok or anywhere there's heavy traffic, but I don't ride there in any case: Edited May 9, 2013 by RubberSideDown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackArtemis Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Just got back from the US and brought my GF a proper helmet and a nice Olympia jacket. I got myself some AGV kevlar jeans, a Go Pro Hero 3 black. Also got my self full leathers and helmet last year. I think the amount you can save pays for the plane ticket... Love shopping back home, hate browsing for stuff from here though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubberSideDown Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 (edited) This is a good time of year to find deals- right before summer when the sellers need to get rid of old stock- I certainly didn't need another jacket, but the price was too good to pass up. I also bring back a ton (almost literally;)) of gear when I head to the States- whenever people are planning a visit to Thailand, I usually make them regret asking if I need anything brought over. Seriously, though, anyone who needs something should click the link above- there are some great prices, and there's only one of each item- everything will be gone soon.
