Shield Cap

When Alpinestars’ MotoGP athletes crash or damage a race suit, the suit is returned to Alpinestars’ R&D facility in Asolo, Italy. The suits are thoroughly scrutinized and assessed, before being—depending on the extent of damage—either repaired or destroyed. This procedure is indicative of Alpinestars’ unyielding commitment to athlete safety and performance.

The Shield Hat has been created to articulate and honor that commitment. Authentic shoulder protection pieces have been rescued from crashed MotoGP race suits and integrated into unstructured, six-panel cotton caps. Each hat is unique, bearing scars and scuffs collected by world-class racers at MotoGP circuits around the world. 

• Adjustable, 6-panel cotton cap
• Crown embellished with salvaged shoulder cups from damaged MotoGP suits
• Shoulder pieces scuffed as a result of MotoGP athlete incidences and usage
• Each hat unique
• Fulfillment will be randomized— shoulder piece colors will vary

Please note that each hat comes with a unique, randomly selected protector. Colors and abrasion might vary.
