GP Plus R v4 Rideknit® Leather Jacket - Black/Red Fluo/White - US 38 / EU 48

The Alpinestars GP Plus R v4 Rideknit® Leather Jacket is designed for riders demanding high performance, comfort, and advanced protection on the road or track. Crafted with 1.3 mm ‘Race’ grade leather, this jacket offers an optimal blend of abrasion resistance and comfort, making it suitable for aggressive riding styles. The jacket features extensive race-derived materials and construction, including a dedicated ‘Sport’ fit with pre-curved arms that enhance riding ergonomics and reduce fatigue during long rides. Its innovative design incorporates stretch panels on the torso, inner arms, and around the neck, which provide exceptional breathability, flexibility, and freedom of movement, ensuring that riders stay comfortable in a variety of conditions. The inclusion of RIDEKNIT® engineered inner arms combines high abrasion and tear resistance with superior flexibility and stretch, elevating the jacket’s overall performance and comfort.

The jacket is equipped with advanced protective features such as dual-density DFS shoulders for superior friction control during slides, GP Lite elbow armor for impact absorption, and Nucleon Flex Plus shoulder armor for enhanced impact protection. Additionally, it is compatible with Tech-Air® 5 and Tech-Air® 3 airbag systems, offering riders an extra layer of safety in case of an accident. The lightweight A-CS® Plus stretch panels on the shoulders and torso contribute to a lighter profile than traditional leather panels, with about 30% more elongation and a tear resistance increase of 300%. These panels also provide about 600% more cut resistance compared to leather, significantly improving rider safety.

Designed with rider performance and safety in mind, the Alpinestars GP Plus R v4 Rideknit® Leather Jacket combines technical innovation with premium craftsmanship. Its strategic placement of stretch zones and protective armor makes it suitable for spirited riding or competitive racing, while its breathable construction ensures comfort during extended use.
