Reviews & Tips
1. Racer Veil graphic is a distinctive design that creates a visually bold kit identity in a graphic line specifically designed to match the Veil Gear and Radar Gloves for a total coordinated look across jersey, pants, and gloves
2. Stretchnet panels on the full back of the lower legs provide the same superior ventilation as the Graphite set — a significant thermal comfort advantage over polyfabric-only construction at the Racer tier
3. Goat leather inner knees and SX2 magnetic buckle closure are the same higher-tier specifications as the Graphite set, delivering Techstar-level materials in key zones at the Racer price
1. Race fit jersey and pants construction is for riders comfortable with the close MX riding cut — recreational riders or those who prefer the relaxed Fluid silhouette may find the fit adjustment significant
2. Same construction specification as the Racer Graphite — the choice between the two sets comes down to graphic preference rather than performance differentiation
3. At £174.99, a matched gear set investment that requires colour/graphic commitment across the full kit
The 2025 Racer Veil Gear Set shares its construction specification with the Racer Graphite — the same jersey and pants architecture at the same price point — but the Veil graphic is its own identity: a distinctive design that is built into the Alpinestars Racer Veil line across the jersey, pants, and matching Radar Gloves for a total coordinated kit appearance. The choice between Graphite and Veil is a graphic and aesthetic decision, not a performance one.
The Racer Veil Jersey has the same multi-material, poly-fabric construction as its Graphite counterpart: extremely lightweight and durable with breathable stretch mesh inserts under the arms for enhanced airflow and freedom of movement in the area that most benefits from ventilation. The race fit and sport collar provide the performance-oriented cut and comfort profile of the Racer line, with a pre-curved construction pattern that follows the natural riding position, a longer rear cut for coverage in the riding position, and fitted wrist cuffs for a clean finish.
The Racer Veil Pants share the same high-specification material selection as the Graphite pants. The Stretchnet panels on the full back of the lower legs are the performance feature that sets the Racer Graphite and Veil pants apart from lower-tier alternatives: active ventilation through the most heat-retaining zone of MX pants, providing the cooling performance that conventional polyfabric panels cannot deliver. Goat leather inner knees provide premium bike contact and grip quality normally associated with the Techstar tier. The SX2 auto-lock magnetic buckle derives directly from the Techstar line for fast, convenient waist closure. The 3D pattern and pre-curved ergonomic construction complement the new sport cut for a comfortable, performance-oriented riding fit.
The 2025 Racer Veil Gear Set is for developing and regular MX and off-road riders who want the Racer tier performance specification — Stretchnet, goat leather, magnetic buckle — and are drawn to the Veil graphic and its coordinated look across the Alpinestars Racer Veil range. The race fit is appropriate for riders comfortable with performance-oriented MX kit.
Jersey: Multi-material poly-fabric construction, breathable stretch mesh inserts under arms, race fit with sport collar, pre-curved construction, cut longer at rear, fitted wrist cuffs, overlock stitching
Pants: Ultra-lightweight main fabric, Stretchnet panels on full back of lower legs, 3D pattern and pre-curved ergonomic construction, goat leather inner knees, SX2 auto-lock magnetic buckle, silicone inner waistline, zippered fly, sport cut
The 2025 Racer Veil Gear Set at £174.99 is the Racer Graphite’s twin in specification — Stretchnet, goat leather, and magnetic buckle in the Veil graphic. If the Veil design is the one that speaks to you, the performance case is exactly the same.
The 2025 Racer Veil Gear Set at £174.99 delivers the same capable Racer spec as the Graphite — Stretchnet lower leg venting, goat leather knees, magnetic buckle — in the distinct Veil graphic. If the Veil graphic appeals over the Graphite, the specification and value are identical.
