Alpinestars GP Pro Comp Bootcut Suit Review 2026

The GP Pro Comp Bootcut Suit is Alpinestars’ race-grade three-layer driving suit, certified to both FIA 8856-2000 and SFI 3.2A/5 standards. The three-layer construction uses a 100% Aramidic outer shell with exceptional heat and flame-resistant properties, knitted stretchable panels for maximum comfort and breathability, and a breathable lining that keeps driver comfort high across long competitive sessions. At 305g per square metre it’s a lightweight package for the level of protection it provides.

The engineering detail in the construction reflects serious race use. Alpinestars’ fully floating arm construction with stretchable knit fabric minimises material resistance while driving, allowing arm movement to feel natural rather than restricted. Pre-curved arms and legs work with the driving position rather than against it, and stretch panels at the crotch, waist, and underarm add further freedom of movement in the areas that matter most. Ribbed, stretchable wrist cuffs keep the suit in place and prevent material from bunching around the glove interface, and a bootcut leg construction is designed for comfort in the driving position.

A soft ribbed knit collar provides extended coverage and improved comfort at the neck, and flat seams on the shoulders reduce pressure points during long stints. The premium YKK double-slidered zipper provides a versatile, customisable fit, and adjustable collar and belted waist allow a precise fit for different body shapes. Thigh pockets offer convenient, unobtrusive storage, and the Alpinestars shoulder epaulette construction facilitates effective driver extraction if required. A laundry bag is included for storage and to protect the suit’s fibres between uses.
