My buddy owns a pir of these. Shortly after he bought them, he starting having trouble with the buckles/latches falling apart. He asked Alpinestars for help and was sent some new parts. Problem was, they were the complete buckle assembly and had to be SEWN in! Seems a little rediculous to us. Has any of you had any similar problems with the Tech 5's? Thanks!
I'd bet if he sent the boots to Alpinestars, they'd take care of it. I've sent 2 sets of boots in for repair(crash/impact damage) and they've never charged me anything... They've got VERY good service IMHO.
I got some tech 5's about 2 years ago, and three of the latch assy's broke within about 3 months. The parts manager at my local shop got me new pieces from the rep and they have held up well. Maybe there were some QC problems with early latches.
