Alpinestars GP Plus R v4 Airflow Leather Jacket - Black/White US 38 / EU 48 with Race-Optimized Ventilation and Impact Protection

GP Plus R v4 Airflow Leather Jacket - Black/White - US 38 / EU 48

The Alpinestars GP Plus R v4 Airflow Leather Jacket is designed for riders seeking maximum ventilation without compromising protection. Crafted with extensive perforation zones on the chest and sides, as well as vented shoulders, this jacket ensures optimal airflow during high-performance riding. The sport-fit design features pre-curved arms and technical stretch panels under the arms, on the inner arms, and around the neck, delivering exceptional freedom of movement and a comfortable ergonomic fit for aggressive riding positions. The lightweight A-CS® Plus stretch panels, approximately 9% lighter than traditional leather, provide superior stretch performance with around 30% elongation and significantly improved tear and cut resistance—up to 300% and 600% respectively—compared to standard HRSF materials. These panels enhance durability while maintaining a lighter profile, making the jacket both protective and agile. The collar features a soft, stretch ergonomic design with a hook-and-loop closure and a large built-in flap for a secure fit, complemented by ergonomic hook-and-loop cuffs and a zippered forearm sleeve for ease of adjustment. Practical storage is available through two external side pockets, and the mesh interior liner with pockets accommodates a back protector or split chest protector, adding an extra layer of safety. The extended back coverage offers better protection when in riding position, while the adjustable hook-and-loop waist and mesh liner ensure a customized fit. Dual density DFS shoulders and GP Lite elbow armor provide impact and friction protection in key areas, supplemented by Nucleon Flex Plus shoulder armor for superior impact absorption. The jacket is Tech-Air® 5 and Tech-Air® 3 ready, allowing integration with Alpinestars' advanced airbag systems for enhanced safety. Whether on the racetrack or street, this jacket combines advanced materials, ventilation, and impact protection to meet the demands of high-performance riding.
