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

The Alpinestars GP Plus R v4 Rideknit® Leather Jacket is built for riders seeking maximum performance, comfort, and protection on the road. Crafted with a 1.3 mm ‘Race’ grade leather, this jacket offers an optimal balance of abrasion resistance and flexibility. Its race-inspired design features a dedicated ‘Sport’ fit with pre-curved arms, ensuring a natural riding position that enhances control and reduces fatigue during long rides. The jacket integrates extensive race-derived features, including impact-protective armor on shoulders and elbows, providing high-level safety without compromising mobility.
The innovative use of Alpinestars’ RIDEKNIT® technology in the inner arms enhances flexibility, tear resistance, and breathability, allowing for a snug fit that moves with the rider. The jacket also includes stretch panels on the torso, under the arms, and around the neck, which facilitate exceptional comfort and freedom of movement, particularly during aggressive riding maneuvers. These panels are approximately 9% lighter than traditional leather accordion panels and offer about 30% elongation, significantly improving durability and stretch performance.
To ensure safety in various riding conditions, the GP Plus R v4 features dual-density DFS shoulders for superior friction control and impact absorption. Impact protection is further enhanced with GP Lite elbow armor and Nucleon Flex Plus shoulder armor, meeting rigorous safety standards. Designed to be compatible with Tech-Air® 5 and Tech-Air® 3 airbag systems, this jacket provides an integrated safety solution for added rider confidence. With its lightweight construction, strategic stretch zones, and advanced armor, the Alpinestars GP Plus R v4 Rideknit® Leather Jacket delivers a high-performance riding experience that excels in protection, comfort, and style.
