Product Details
The GP Plus R v4 RIDEKNIT Leather Jacket is optimized for superior freedom of movement and rider comfort, and features extensive race-derived features and materials, including a dedicated ‘Sport’ fit with pre-curved arms for maximum riding performance, and race-proven protection on the shoulders and elbows.
CONSTRUCTION:
- Alpinestars composite stretch technology, A-CS Plus, stretch panels on the torso for exceptional breathability, comfort, and freedom of movement, as well as delivering a lighter weight and a lower profile than a traditional leather accordion panel (the A-CS Plus panels are about 9% lighter than leather panels).
- Another key advantage of using A-CS Plus is its superior stretch performance; A-CS Plus has about 30% elongation and offers an increase in tear resistance of 300% compared to HRSF (Hyper Resistant Stretch Fiber), and an increase in cut resistance by 600% versus leather.
- 1.3mm ‘Race’ grade leather construction for the optimum blend of abrasion resistance and comfort
- RIDEKNIT engineered inner arms - RIDEKNIT combines high abrasion and tear resistance with high flexibility, comfort and mechanical stretch while still delivering superior comfort and high levels of breathability.
