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

The Alpinestars GP Plus R v4 Rideknit® Leather Jacket is engineered for riders seeking exceptional comfort, protection, and performance on the road. Crafted with 1.3 mm race-grade leather, this jacket offers a balanced combination of abrasion resistance and flexibility, ensuring durability without sacrificing comfort. Its dedicated ‘Sport’ fit, featuring pre-curved arms, enhances riding ergonomics, reducing fatigue during long rides and aggressive cornering. The jacket incorporates extensive race-derived features such as impact-protecting shoulder and elbow armor, including Nucleon Flex Plus and GP Lite armor, providing rider confidence in the event of a fall.

A key innovation in the GP Plus R v4 is the use of Alpinestars' RIDEKNIT® technology in the inner arms, which combines high abrasion and tear resistance with exceptional flexibility and mechanical stretch. This feature ensures the jacket moves with the rider, promoting unrestricted movement and comfort. The jacket also benefits from multiple stretch panels, strategically placed under the arms, on the inner arms, and around the neck, to enhance fit and breathability, making it suitable for various riding conditions. The lightweight A-CS® Plus stretch panels, which are approximately 9% lighter than traditional leather panels, contribute to a lower profile and improved comfort.

Designed with safety and functionality in mind, the jacket includes dual-density DFS shoulders for superior friction control and impact absorption. It is also Tech-Air® 5 and Tech-Air® 3 compatible, offering riders the option to upgrade to electronic airbag protection easily. Overall, the Alpinestars GP Plus R v4 Rideknit® Leather Jacket combines advanced materials and race-inspired features to deliver optimal rider performance, protection, and comfort in a sleek, race-ready package.
