When I was a child, little did I imagine that I'd spend an unholy amount of my existence wearing a dead kangaroo, but life's full of surprises, right?

Over the past 18 months, I've been jammy enough to get properly acquainted with Alpinestars' Racing Absolute Racing V2 one-piece suit, and I blooming love it. Of course, what wouldn't there be to like about a suit that's come straight off the back of a MotoGP lorry, incorporating the same design, tech and innovation as that used by some of the best racers in the world? Look around the GP grid and you'll see Astars is the brand of choice for most of the big players, who've kindly gone out of their way to crash and, consequently, shape the many virtues of the V2. It is without a doubt one of the most protective and advanced offerings on the market, incorporating a whole host of clever features into its design.
