GP Plus R v4 Rideknit® Leather Jacket - Black/White - US 42 / EU 52

The Alpinestars GP Plus R v4 Rideknit® Leather Jacket offers riders a combination of advanced protection, superior comfort, and optimized performance for high-speed riding. Designed with a dedicated ‘Sport’ fit, this jacket features pre-curved arms that enhance riding posture and reduce fatigue during long sessions. The 1.3 mm ‘Race’ grade leather construction ensures an excellent balance of abrasion resistance and flexibility, providing confidence in the event of a fall while maintaining comfort for everyday wear. Extensive race-derived features include race-proven protection on shoulders and elbows, with dual-density DFS shoulders offering superior friction control and impact absorption. The GP Lite elbow armor is lightweight yet provides excellent impact protection, while Nucleon Flex Plus armor on the shoulders enhances safety without sacrificing mobility.
The jacket incorporates innovative RIDEKNIT® engineered inner arms that combine high abrasion and tear resistance with high flexibility and comfort. Stretch panels on the torso, inner arms, and around the neck facilitate an optimized fit, breathability, and freedom of movement. The use of A-CS® Plus panels, approximately 9% lighter than traditional leather, delivers exceptional stretch performance with about 30% elongation, and significantly improves tear and cut resistance—offering 300% and 600% increases respectively compared to conventional stretch fibers. These panels contribute to a lighter weight, lower profile, and enhanced mobility. The jacket is also Tech-Air® 5 and Tech-Air® 3 ready, providing potential for integrated airbag protection. Overall, the Alpinestars GP Plus R v4 Rideknit® Leather Jacket combines cutting-edge materials and race-inspired design to deliver a high-performance riding experience for enthusiasts seeking maximum safety, comfort, and freedom of movement.
