Alpinestars GP Plus R v4 Rideknit® Leather Jacket – Black/Black, US 48 / EU 58

GP Plus R v4 Rideknit® Leather Jacket - Black/Black - US 48 / EU 58

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 a superior blend of abrasion resistance and flexibility, ensuring durability without sacrificing comfort. The jacket features a dedicated ‘Sport’ fit with pre-curved arms designed to enhance riding ergonomics and reduce fatigue during extended rides. Its race-derived construction includes extensive protection with CE-certified shoulder and elbow armor, such as the Nucleon Flex Plus and GP Lite impact protectors, providing reliable impact absorption in critical areas.

Advanced materials like A-CS® Plus panels are integrated into the design, offering about 30% more stretch and 300% higher tear resistance compared to traditional Hyper Resistant Stretch Fiber. These panels are approximately nine percent lighter than comparable leather panels, reducing overall weight and improving maneuverability. RIDEKNIT® engineered inner arms combine high abrasion resistance with exceptional flexibility and breathability, contributing to a more comfortable riding experience. Technical stretch panels placed under the arms, along the inner arms, and around the neck deliver an optimized fit, enabling full range of motion and enhanced venting.

This jacket also incorporates dual-density DFS shoulders for superior friction control and features stretch panels on the torso, enhancing breathability and comfort. The design is Tech-Air® 5 and Tech-Air® 3 compatible, allowing for seamless integration with Alpinestars’ advanced airbag systems. Lightweight yet highly protective, the GP Plus R v4 Rideknit® Leather Jacket is a top choice for riders demanding high performance, sophisticated protection, and all-day comfort in a stylish, race-inspired package.
