Alpinestars GP Pro Comp v2 Driver Race Suit
FIA 8856-2018 Driver Race Suit With Lightweight Breathable Construction
The Alpinestars GP Pro Comp v2 Driver Race Suit is engineered for drivers who need FIA-certified protection, breathable comfort, and unrestricted mobility in the cockpit. Featuring an outer shell material developed exclusively for Alpinestars, the GP Pro Comp v2 combines lightweight multi-layer protection with a soft aramidic base knit lining for comfort, protection, and performance.
Certified to the latest FIA 8856-2018 homologation standard, this Alpinestars race suit is built for serious motorsport use while maintaining the flexibility and breathability drivers need during long sessions behind the wheel.
Breathable Multi-Layer Protection
The GP Pro Comp v2 uses a lightweight multi-layer construction with a soft aramidic base lining. The open-weave structure of the lining helps improve airflow, while the 100% aramidic antistatic outer shell provides exceptional heat and flame resistance.
Strategically positioned knitted stretchable open-mesh panels on the back, crotch, and armholes add airflow and flexibility, helping regulate body temperature while allowing the suit to move naturally with the driver.
Silicon Grip Technology
Innovative silicon grip detailing is applied to the shoulders and lower back to help prevent sliding in the race seat. These grip zones also help stabilize the HANS device and relieve pressure on the shoulders, giving the driver a more secure connection with the racing seat.
Built For Driver Mobility
Alpinestars fully-floating arm construction uses stretchable knit fabric to reduce material resistance while driving. Formula One-derived flexible mesh panels on the lower back and crotch further enhance freedom of movement both in and out of the car.
The athletic/regular fit, tall ribbed collar, ribbed wrist and ankle cuffs, and double-slider YKK metal zipper all work together to create a race suit that is protective, comfortable, and easy to wear in demanding motorsport environments.
Cooling Shirt And Communications Access
The Alpinestars GP Pro Comp v2 includes a Formula One-derived cable opening on the left side for cooling shirt and/or communications wiring. This opening is covered by a self-closing flap to maintain a clean exterior profile while keeping system access convenient.
