Hey everyone, I really need your help on this. I live in Dubai, UAE and I really want to buy some gear for the bike. However, I can't seem to find the make that I want, Alpinestars. I'm after the latest Alpinestars gear: Stage leather jacket, Track leather pants, GP Tech gloves, and Supertech boots. I can't seem to find the right color or right size or even the right model. The place that has the gear said that they won't be getting any gloves or boots or pants, and that the jacket will get here but after a good period of time. Do you people think I should just order the clothes from a site? If so then what companies would ship worldwide and what about the size Sad ? Thanks for your time.

Obviously it's your choice, but for maximum protection the right fit is important. I personally wouldn't buy any protective kit without having tried it on.

Let's say I wear a size 12 (US) shoe, would that mean that I should buy a size 12 boot or is there some other way for finding the right size?

I would recommend frontiers I've used them for years and they usually have a good range of Alpinestars https://www.frontiersmc.co.uk/acatalog/index.html

If not there's always ebay.

Don't buy from here, buy it from America if you're buying online. It's much cheaper. Just check the size charts 1st as their shoe sizes are different.
