Anyone have one lying around(yes i know they are quite hard to get!!) and may not want it? Or any idea how to get hold of one?:D looking for one for next years MX, instead of carrying a bag around.
Thanks(y)

Thanks Andrew, prob be looking for an XL/XXL if they are still available! :)
 
I'll be interested in an XL if you can get your hands on them Andrew.
 
Just checked and it was back in May when I was offered 3 of them. All large which is the same as mine. I'd prefer an XL myself if they did them - but they are hard to get as a restricted item.

Have asked if they're still available.

Dear Mr. Cliffe,

Thank you for your interest in an Alpinestars Media Vest.

As our jackets are manufactured in limited quantities we distribute them
strictly to professional photographers who are either fully accredited
(with permanent season photography credentials) in certain international
motorsports championships where Alpinestars maintains an active
presence, or have a direct contractual/supply link with Alpinestars or
its media partners.

We will agree to supply Media Vests to full-time professional
photographers who can submit full season credentials in the following
Championships:


- FIA Formula 1 World Championship
- FIA World Rally Championship
- FIM MotoGP World Championship
- FIM World Superbike Championship
- FIM World MXGP Championship
- FIM World Trials Championship
- NASCAR Nextel Cup Series
- IRL Indycar Championship
- Champ Car World Series
- AMA MX/SX Championships
- AMA Superbike Championship


Once relevant and appropriate credentials are established we will agree
the supply of a jacket, via Alpinestars Racing Services, who attend the
Championships listed above. The jacket will be supplied directly at a
particular meeting/test/event upon presentation of the original personal
pass/letter of credential confirmation as supplied by the Championship
organizer/governing body.

We regret that, as a general rule, photographers jackets cannot be
supplied by mail.

If you have full Championship status photography credentials for the
Championships listed above, please submit a copy of your personal pass
(both sides), together with letter of credential confirmation provided
by the Championship organizer/governing body. The credentials MUST apply
to the year/season in which the request is being made.

We regret that we cannot accept applications for the jackets on the
basis of single event/part season accreditation.

PLEASE NOTE:

Alpinestars agrees to supply its Media Vests upon the requirements set
out above, free of charge, as a service to professional photographers.
We do so on the understanding that photographers abide by the
requirements stipulated by the Championship organizers/governing
authority at all times and where specific Championship photographic
vests are issued as part of, or, as a sign of accreditation, we ask
photographers to respect the rules governing the use of photographers
jackets at each event/venue as applicable.

Thank you again for your interest in Alpinestars and we look forward to
receiving appropriate credentials and full contact details in order to
proceed with your request.


Best Regards
 
What is so special about these vests?

Oh well, my mum always said if you don't ask you don't get....

I will have to tap a couple of mates up for one then....
 
Thanks.
 
Mine is darker than that with a white alpinestars logo. Gary has a red one.

I've seen others and they're not as useful as the astars ones. When at a race meet I tend to load the vest up and leave the backpack in the car.
 
Thanks Andrew! If he gets more, could u get him to keep one, and let me know:D Thanks again!(y)
 
Just found the old thread! Anyone else any idea's?

Andrew, can you get hold of any vests now? either fox or a/star?:D

Thanks
Paul
 
BTTT and if anyone has any, let me know :)
 
Haha! Good luck!

If you trawl the US based forums and ebay at the end of the season of:

FIA Formula 1 World Championship
FIA World Rally Championship
FIM MotoGP World Championship
FIM World Superbike Championship
FIM World MXGP Championship
FIM World Trials Championship
NASCAR Nextel Cup Series
IRL Indycar Championship
Champ Car World Series
AMA MX/SX Championships
AMA Superbike Championship
UCI Mountain Bike World Cup

(thats the 2010 list of events supplied with them)

You'll usually find some tog selling it off to make a few quid - but expect it to be battered and a bit smelly :D
 
Yes Gary, that list was in response to the grovelling email I sent them a few months back :D
 



Looks like it's already sold. I'll put my name down for your new one then when you part with it... :D :LOL:
