Alpinestars GP Plus R v4 Rideknit® Leather Motorcycle Jacket - Black/White, US 38 / EU 48

The Alpinestars GP Plus R v4 Rideknit® Leather Jacket is engineered for riders seeking optimal performance, comfort, and protection on the road. Crafted from 1.3 mm ‘Race’ grade leather, it offers an ideal balance of abrasion resistance and flexibility, making it suitable for aggressive riding and long-distance touring alike. The jacket features a dedicated ‘Sport’ fit with pre-curved arms designed to enhance riding posture and reduce fatigue during extended rides. Extensive use of technical stretch panels under the arms, on the inner arms, and around the neck ensures an exceptional fit that adapts to your body movements for maximum comfort. The incorporation of RIDEKNIT® engineered inner arms combines high abrasion and tear resistance with flexibility and mechanical stretch, allowing for high mobility without compromising durability.

Alpinestars has integrated advanced materials like A-CS® Plus stretch panels, which are approximately 9% lighter than traditional leather panels and boast about 30% elongation. These panels significantly improve breathability, comfort, and freedom of movement, while providing a notable increase in tear and cut resistance—up to 300% and 600%, respectively, compared to conventional stretch fibers. The dual density DFS shoulders provide superior friction control and impact absorption, complemented by GP Lite impact armor on the elbows and Nucleon Flex Plus armor on the shoulders for enhanced impact protection. The jacket is also compatible with the Tech-Air® 5 and Tech-Air® 3 airbag systems, offering an additional layer of safety for riders.

Designed with rider performance and safety in mind, the Alpinestars GP Plus R v4 Rideknit® Leather Jacket delivers a lightweight, breathable, and highly protective solution for motorcycle enthusiasts who demand the best from their gear. Its innovative combination of materials and ergonomic design ensures a comfortable riding experience while maintaining high standards of impact and abrasion protection, making it suitable for both racing and everyday riding scenarios.
