ALPINESTARS 2020 SUIT LINE UP P104 Feature will be slightly revised, with ergonomic profil- ing from other higher-end suits. "This is for the canyon guy that wants to look like a track guy. This is a guy that wants to spend about a thousand bucks on his suit, one that's Tech-Air compatible. They can get the Tech-Air vest for an extra $1100." More airflow is good for Nic. He sweats like a beast! Rider analysis: De Sena (Ultimate Motorcycling): "The Alpinestars Missile Ignition Tech-Air is one of the best bang-for-your- buck airbag-compatible suits currently on the market. As someone that spent a whole lot of time in the original Missile suit, the biggest difference between that and the Missile Igni- tion is the racier cut, which allows for much better range of motion when in an aggressive posture on a sport bike; that's a huge plus in my book. Between the perforation and stretch paneling, you'll also have a respectable flow of fresh air, too. It might be the entry-level Tech-Air suit, but it's far from being an entry-level suit." This option for the Missile won better color among the assembled riders at Buttonwillow.
